Hello All,
I need a little advice about how walls are constucted.
I am currently in the process of replacing my DPC. I am doing this the old fashioned way by removing the bottom course of bricks and replacing the physical DPC. Work was going well until today. I am removing 3 bricks at a time and then leaving 1 in place. This is being done around the whole room and then I can replace the DPC and start to put the bricks back in before removing the ones that were left in and overlapping the DPC. I have just removed the first brick in the wall that is between me and next door. What I thought was a course of half bricks is actually a course of bricks laid across the cavity. When I got one out I could see into next door!!! Is it normal for a dividing wall to be constructed this way? Looks like I may have to inject this wall but I don't think that I am now going to get a successful result at the end of the job.
