   On the next layer you will need to do the same to adjust the bricks.
   Once you have them laded where they fit together like you want them.

4. Then you can pick up
   each brick on at a time and put some liquid nails on the bottom and
   place it firmly back in its place.
   When all the second row is glued you can move to the third layer. Doing the same thing over again.
