East is east & west is west... tomorrow the twain shall meet

Well, today I got the east wall laid in mortar with adhesive on the butt joints... the wall still needs a little tweaking, but progress is being made... slowly but surely. I'm even more confident now that when I start the second course that the whole process will go much faster. I'm learning how to lay the block and course 2 and above only require the polymer adhesive not mortar AND the adhesive. Physically this is VERY demanding but I can tell I'm getting a little stronger every day... YEAH!
Tomorrow I have to join the east wall with the west wall... then we'll be rockin' & rollin'.
