I'm laid up with my back this week (first time in a few years, so can't complain). So I'm trying to focus on getting everything ready, design wise, to start framing in a couple of weeks.
I'm very much torn on the dwarf wall idea. Part of me wants to learn brick laying, but part of me feels it's holding me back from starting.
Being that I'm going for 5x2 timber now ( have ended up paying less than 4x2's), will bedding the sole plate on standard house bricks be an issue? i.e the sole plate will be wider than the bricks.
Also, am I bonkers to consider doing away with the bricks and just building directly on the slab?

So my solution (tip from a bricklayer) was one of those big buckets end a paddle mixer from screwfix. You can mix enough for about ten bricks which would take me an hour to lay at the start, and it's a doddle to clear up.
