I have concerns for how to handle the gaps created by the curved portions of the wall as well as how to deal with 90 degree corners using the combination of these three blocks. Again, I am generating a gap in the corner as the wall stacks up. The installation guide shows how to handle corners, but the blocks are all the same kind and they are staggered. The design I am using does not have as much ability to stagger 1/4 to 1/2 a block's width. This again is creating gaps I cannot close down while at the same time maintaining the pattern and fit of any given block. I could use some advice.
