Hello jbonding & tawelfryn et al,
You're the resident experts on bricklaying so I was wondering if you could please give me some idea how you'd go about building the front wall with the given dimensions.
My architect has chosen peculier dimensions for the front of my extension. I can see each figure one on its own is a multiple of 225mm (i.e. full length brick and 10mm Mortar joint) and/or 102.5mm half brick.
You'll see from the drawing there are four courses of brick below the door
If you add all the figures together you get 5482.5mm which is 24 full length bricks (225mm) and 82.5 left over, which is neither a full or half brick.
So how would the Pros build this so that there is minimal disruption of the stretcher bond? Am I missing something bleeding obvious!
