Mate is having some garden walls built after the storms blew some fences
down.

Single brick about a meter high with 9" pillars with wood panels between.
Doing the entire garden - so must look good to neighbours too, as
obviously one of the walls is 'theirs'.

He wanted bricks to match the sort of red ribbed ones used on his 80s
house. But the ones the contractor has brought are only a match on one
face. The backs are a sort of sandy colour. The contractor says the only
option is to go for 9" walls all round - an extra 1000 quid.

Any comments? I know absolutely nothing about bricks. ;-)
