>>LOL! I’m not swiping my neighbor’s bricks, or undermining his wall. ;)<<
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.
I'm really happy that it turns out I have the materials on site and only have to put in the labor.
