It’s not perfect since I didn’t know what I was doing and I’m not a perfectionist. But it works!

It looks really good, Debbie. I’ll go with that nice cold drink as Bunting suggests.

I checked the other site. Being that they are regular bricks, will they disintegrate if “in the ground” during our winter? I know that the solid ones are good for our winter, but really don’t know about the regular bricks.

That will be disappointing if they all fall apart.

One would think they should be fine. All things considered, the only thing the holes are for is structural strength of the mortar joints. Now, that said, if there is a high moisture buildup that allows ice to form and fill said holes, they will certainly burst.
