DIY brick patching

[Cycledelic68]

I have a short brick wall around some bushes in front of my house and recently the bricks have been cracking and falling off. I decided to try patching it and painting it with specailly made paint from Sherwin Williams.

I made a video here.

You can see that brick wall here, too, in a picture from the 1960's.

My condolences on Bill's passing at such a young age. It must have been a most
difficult time for the family. Must have been many shared experiences by
that old wall. Definitely worth repairing. Thank you for sharing this with us
and the helpful how-to on the repairs. I'll be using this technique on a couple
of chimney bricks.

Someone told me Bill died in a car accident. I've been patching up the brick wall enough so it looks OK from a distance. I think the plant roots are pushing the bricks out and making them crack.

Poor Bill. Sad that. I mistakenly thought you were related and that was Bill's old wall years ago.
My mind does tend to jump to conclusions. I do think your patchwork technique looks great.
That I got right.
