 Straightening the wall using screeds.

Setting
                      screeds
  Screeds are straight lines set in the mortar
to define the wall thickness.
Here, a horizontal screed is set with a 6 foot rod from the corner strip to the back of the door trim.

Thanks for visiting
my site. 
 Dear readers, 
Thanks for all the kind words and comments, as well as the questions.

My site is undergoing a much needed overhaul. It is a little hard to navigate,
confusing, and I have dropped way down in the search engines. There are a few broken links, and errors in the page sources.  In short,
it has fallen into neglect, but is being remodeled, so please keep checking back.
