It should be laid out horizontally and checked by level. First, the laying is done without the use of mortar. This fitting is necessary for the selection of quality elements and the proper laying of bricks in key places: in the corners, as well as in the openings of windows and doors.

A wire is tied to the cap of the wall plug hammered into the wall, the ends of which lead to the cement mortar. Such a binding should be organized every 4 bricks vertically.
