Hi Tammis,

This is a relatively easy puzzle to solve.

The brick noggin is tied to the post or wall stud by using a wire screw loop. These are normally used to build wooden windows into a brick wall but they can equally be used in reverse to attach brick walls to timber frame. The loop is set at the mortar line and pushed down into the mortar as the next course is added. Set these every 3 courses. Ideally use lime mortar.
