I owe you a response.
I am 100% sure your neighbors brick walls are safe and secure. Especially since you specifically stated you were baking your own bricks.
If you get a chance, head on South Mexico way. They seem to have all but perfected brick creation (very few Americans do true brick construction). I saw some pretty cool techniques.
