Russell said Steve built a 4-foot-high brick wall across his driveway while Russell was on his own honeymoon six years ago.

"What you reap is what you sow," Russell said. "The neighbors were coming out asking what I was doing painting their house. I reckon there were hundreds of people stopping and taking pictures. Even the police were slowing down to take a look."

The brothers said they are now planning to bury the hatchet and team up to prank their older brother, David, who is scheduled to get married next year.

"People need to watch this space to see what happens to his house next year," Russell said.
