    I removed an old chimney and needed to fill up the gap. Decided to use bricks instead of plywood/ plasterboard. I wasn't really sure how to start, but after seeing your video's, I felt confident I could do it too. It was a rocky start, but I kept your video playing together. I found out you can only mount 1 meter a day to give the mortar the time to dry. I also integrated some anchors to the cavity wall behind. I can say I am proud on the result. Thanks for the great videos! I hope your students can appreciate how great a teacher you are.
