Setting back extension

[adwt2004]

Hi I’ve read a lot about setting back an extension wall when your house is imperial and bricks are metric.

Can anyone explain what this means? Any example pictures?

I don’t fancy large mortar lines but just wondered if this is a good option in my circumstances.

Cheers all

You set the brickwork back half a brick back from the face of the existing and use wall starters instead of toothing in.
That way you don't have to follow the existing gauge.

And hide it with a drainpipe if you can.

Ok thanks for that. Seems a good idea especially with drain pipes.
