Hi Jacob,
Thanks for your reply, now it makes sense, I can see now why they used the term "buttress".
The book is called Homebond house building manual. There is not much reference to it in google but if you want it you can get it from
www.cif.ie look in publications.
Thanks

good idea too if you prefer woodwork to bricklaying, but you would
need a structural engineer and a proper spec.
What is the book btw?
cheers
