Ok may be a daft question, but when you see a block wall with a course of bricks in it, I'd always though that was to get the wall to a correct size without excessive block cutting - either vertical height or horizontal. I saw a big garage recently that had a course just above ground level, and one mid way. What's that all about - something to do with joists inside?
When do bricks and blocks need mixing? And are there any dos and donts about using blocks laid either vertically (standing on their short side) or laid flat (laid on their large face).
One final daft question - if modern dpc is waterproof, doesn't it imply that the whole house is resting on a non-bonded material, albeit tied between leafs?
be gentle ...
