Partition Wall Springfield Ohio Brick Project Part 2

Made with Trash

Part Two

Figure 8 Brick

(non-bearing/non-retainer)

I refer to the brick with odd holes, "Figure 8 Brick". No GroutThese are not hot-fired brick and therefore, not uniform by any stretch of the imagination.

There are sagging sides, bumped out faces, and the brick possess other deformities also.

These particular brick, like the solid brick used in the main walls, were also laid uncleaned.

However, unlike the solid brick on the main walls which only had up to 1/2" existing mortar still intact, these brick possessed even more!

In other words, these particular brick are impossible to lay true, so the weaving in and out of the vertical joints is inevitable. These brick are all laid rowlock fashion on their faces horizontally making the wall approximately 8-inches thick, yet see-through (I'm the only one here so the thought was pro-free ventilation rather than peeping...just thought I'd mention that).

The brick are also referred to as "slump" brick.

The See-through brick will act as a partition wall between the solar battery bank station and the water-hold (where the shower, sink, water heater, Reverse Osmosis unit, and some other junk is to be stationed). Photo of a brick

Since I gave up contending against the controllers of our "driving" privileges a long time ago, the suspect in the photos allowed the use of his time and truck to obtain the mortar required for the project.

My alter-ego told me to snap a photo of him...A Ride?...just in case.

"Oh, sure buddy, but if you don't mind I'll sit up front. I had a bad experience with the child-locks one time."Ride

After some debate whether it were safe, we went to purchase the mortar.

The non-planned walls would be completed expediently if I hadn't changed my mind about where various utilities were to be stationed.
