| Smart Set commented on 06.14.05 | | ART, how did you guess? I always had a problem with wearing safety gear in my last job. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.14.05 | | Me neither. I just know it as a strange album title, but I think halfbricking is a technical term. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.14.05 | | Uhhh....remember the song but no idea how it goes..... |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.14.05 | | Anyone remember "Unhalfbricking" by Fairport Convention? Thought not. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.14.05 | | (Is the column not Flemish Bond with what's known as an "English Corner"??) I should point out that I can't even change a plug without instructions, let alone build a wall. This is all pure (and quite rusty) theory on my part... |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.14.05 | | Ok, ok, I wish I hadn't started this - I did say an ADAPTED version of FB (as I didn't recognise the actual pattern myself!)....some characteristics. ART - I thought Flemish Bond (correct me if I am wrong Vogon3) is a stretcher then a header - (rather than a half brick)?? |
|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 06.14.05 | | I think this is Brook Bond |
|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 06.14.05 | | Running bond is stretcher stretcher stretcher on each course so not running. |
|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 06.14.05 | | Common bond is stretcher stretcher stretcher for three courses then header header header for one course. so not common |
|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 06.14.05 | | English bond is header header header next course stretcher stretcher stretcher. so not english. |
|
|
| Vogon3 commented on 06.14.05 | | This it not flemish bond as flemish is made up of stretcher header stretcher on each course. |
|
|
| ART commented on 06.14.05 | | now, SS, you realy need to wear that helmet and those protecting shoes and goggles |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.14.05 | | Nancy's management! Look busy! FOD, hand me that trowel, quick! |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.14.05 | | I agree on the wall, but the column is a myshterioush bond |
|

|
|
| FOD40UK commented on 06.14.05 | | I reckon the wall is Flemish Bond(tho' a little rustic for my tastes).And the column,well,thats more like yer English Bond that is(with yer little half-headers there just as fill-in 'cos the pattern didn't quite work out. |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.14.05 | | I remember, Jamesh wash a Fleming |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.14.05 | | hey we're on,zxplain me the link-thing |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.14.05 | | I was not referring to the wall, but to the small pillar: one line is 3/4,3/4/,3/4 and the upper and lower one is what? I have never seen it in Belgium |
|
|
| ART commented on 06.14.05 | | actually, the pattern in the column isn't a "normal" brickwork combination. Flemish Bond is one normal brick, a half,1,1/2,1,1/2, and so on..the next line is the opposite so you get 1/2 above and under a 1...I'll search a picture to make it clair. This is more like a cross pattern. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.14.05 | | I have a degree in Construction Management...!! |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.14.05 | | How come you know your brickwork, Nancy? Are you related to Bristol's most famous son - Bomber? |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.14.05 | | Whoever fires first. The Flemish Bond looks pretty handy though.... |
|
|
| Ernst Stavro Blofeld commented on 06.13.05 | | Who would you like shot, Miss Dumplingski? Mr Bond here or his little mattress friend? |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.13.05 | | I like this shot. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.13.05 | | Hmmm. The mattress does look a little shaken. But is definitely not stirring. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.13.05 | | Yes, now you come to mention it. Very Seany Connery. |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.13.05 | | Just curious. Kinda Sean Connery? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.13.05 | | It had a Scots accent. Why? |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.13.05 | | I must know, what accent did the wall have? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.13.05 | | I know walls have ears, but this one spoke to me too. "The name's Bond," it said. "Flemish Bond". |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.13.05 | | Actually on closer inspection, much of the wall looks like FB - the column being a slightly adapted version but bearing the key characteristics nonetheless. Am I boring you? |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.13.05 | | (Maybe you knew that Wim and have decided to tease us....?!) |
|
|
| Nancy Dumpling commented on 06.13.05 | | The pattern of brickwork on the left column is called Flemish Bond.....how ironic. |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.13.05 | | it remains a Belgian submission, but we never build walls in the left pattern of the column |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.09.05 | | N&A, please make an adjustment, if SS would really come over to Belgium, people would put their matts outside, waving and praying, shouting "Hooky Dans, dans Hooky, Dans Tessa Rmt" (the last just for the sound of "Rmt" |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.09.05 | | Yes, this pic is listed under 'Belgium' on my showcase page. |
|
|
| wim commented on 06.09.05 | | Who put you on that idea? N&A? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 06.09.05 | | Hey, Harlesden's not in Belgium! |
