Hi all, I want to build a garden wall.
Between me and the neighbour is a wall made from aerated blocks it stands approx 5ft and is mortared to their wall. This must have been a project at some point, but before I bought the house because on my side is a row of blue bricks as if there was going to be another wall, they are tight up to the existing block wall as if it was going to be capped off with bricks on their side spanning both walls.
I have talked to my neighbour about it but he too has only just moved in, he wants to render his side which is understandable.
My question is, do I need to place some damp proof over the blue bricks, and do you know of any ties that I can use to tie both walls together.
I was also thinking of extending the wall to eventually create a courtyard but the extended part will only be single brick.
I live in Mansfield, anyone know the best place to buy bricks from?
Any advice is welcome, regards Lee
