Nice job. I like the brick work. Flemish bond? (alternating stretchers and headers).

"Flemish bond?"

I don't remember the different types of brick bonds Jono but that looks about right to me.



. Flemish Bond For this type of bond, each course is made up of alternate headers and stretchers. Each header is centered on a stretcher above and below and every alternate course begins with a header in the corner. For breaking the vertical joints in the successive courses, quoin closers are introduced in alternate courses next to the header. This bond can be significantly sub-divided into two diverse types:

• Single Flemish Bond – A combination of English bond and Flemish Bond. The front exposed surface of the wall is composed of Flemish bong and the back surface is composed of English bond in every single course.
• Double Flemish Bond – This bond takes a similar appearance both in the front and the back elevations.

Walls with Flemish Bond are complex to erect and demand greater skills.
