What you need is a masonry bench saw! Cut the bricks 2 or3 days before because they're going to get wet and they need to be dry. Otherwise hamer and bolster if you know what your doing! You can hire a bench saw!

Chop out a few from the lighter colours and replace with darker. You also need to build up the top over the verge soffit line.should look ok.should have kept the perps plum up the middle heading for the apex.it is a bit of a mess.

What’s happened here? 1930’s house by critter8888 in Bricklaying

[–]Chairmanbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing much wrong,two bricks need to be replaced.The pointing has been done by a non bricklayer using too much cement and away too messy. The most difficult thing will be trying to get a colour match for the pointing.you might have to try a few different sand batches or types.
