I saw the wall after the work was completed and noted that the depth of mortar between the bricks seemed meagre. I know little about brick laying but I thought that extra mortar would increase the protection to the brickwork.
I belive that some sort of extra buttressing would keep the wall standing vertically longer.
Maybe this is all to be done at a later date OR IS THIS JOB DONE?
