Down to about 1600mm now. Feels a bit sturdier, before it was just scary that I could pretty much shake a brick wall! The pillar in the middle is weird, maybe was an afterthought, as there are no bricks linking it with the wall, only mortar. The nicely demonstrates how houses are just piles of bricks stacked (not glued) together. Mortar has no reliable tensile strength - once it cracks it can be lifted off. But gravity is effective at keeping them in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
