Bricklayer & Shield
You ever think about what makes a wall actually hold up under siege? I've got a list of bricks that can take a lot, but we need to figure out the best layout.
You think about the forces first, not the bricks. A wall stays up when weight is spread evenly and each layer locks the one below. Stack heavier blocks in the center, lighter ones on the edges, keep the joints tight, and never let a single point bear the full load. That’s the simplest, most reliable layout.
Exactly. We line up the heavy stuff in the core, let the lighter bricks run along the edges, tighten every joint, and we never let a single point take the whole load. That’s how a wall stays up without a single crack.
Sounds solid. Stick to that plan and keep an eye on the joints—any loose spot and the whole wall could give way.
Right on. I’ll keep the joints tight and watch the load spread. No slack spots.
