I need to make some weep holes in this retaining wall. I’m not a bricklayer or anything but have the basic tools. I was going to chisel out one brick and replace it with a half brick every few feet but then realised the wall is 2 bricks thick. The second image is how it is on the neighbors wall adjoining. Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers

A perennial problem with walls is water or other staining. Yesterday I was walking past a fairly new wall, built perhaps 15 years ago. There are an interesting number of white stains now running down the wall. What is the cause? My candidate is probably the weep holes, and also the 'shadow' from the road sign (which should be a few inches further out). I wonder if it also cheap bricks, or an insufficiently considered design. In any case, if stains show up this prominently so soon, then something on the detailing is not right. What do you think, and what would you do differently?
