Default Advice needed on working out garden wall

Thanks for all the replies,

I have a good relationship with my neighbour, they have only recently
moved in and are happy for the work to go ahead. I have suggested that
the wall would need to be built from the centre point between our two
properties, the gap between our front doors is 14inches. I have
calcualted for a 9inch wall thus requiring around 5in from either side.


My problem is working out a datum at the garden entrance (there are no
gates!), I can see this being the area of contention as I would like
the wall to be near as dammit 90 degrees from the house wall, its how I
achieve this easily that is taking up the time.


Pythagoras is your friend.

3-4-5 meter triangle is a right angle.

Just fiddle till it comes right. All you need is a 5 meter tape.


Many thanks
Naz
