    I would suggest you go down to Western Hills Building Supply on Harrison Avenue in Dent and they could explain and sell you the materials that you will need here there phone 574 6200 i have used them in the past and they are very helpful I would be truthful with them and let him know you've never done it before that way they will be more helpful knowing that you don't know what you're doing. Hope this is helpful

    Some people use a hammer and flat head screw driver or bevel to place between the brick and mortar and hammer it down. It is a long , tedious job but it can be done.
