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

Just use a long drill bit and drill a perp, vertical motar join between the bricks, out on the  outside so it looks nice.  It will burst out on the inside though.

will the new weep holes do anything? I've often seen these on retaining walls and wonder whether they really serve any purpose. I would think they might perhaps in conjunction with a french drain, or some other means to create a space for liquid water to pool.

35mm core drill hired for the day and it will do it with ease. Then push in some lengths of black waste pipe and job done. Every 6-900mm will be fine.
