I have a question similar to Mo; how to handle the detail of where the timber and brick infill meet. This application is for new construction for a enclosed porch. The timbers have been kiln dried but there is still some shrinkage and the timber is pulling away from the brick. What kind of joint should there be? The orginal house has the same detail but was built in the 1920's, there is no sign of separation there. Anyway, I am open for suggestions; maybe a particular joint material that allows movement and looks like a mortar joint....?
Thanks,
TD
