Place a header course approximately mid height of the structure in structures less than 9 courses high. Place a header course every third course on structures 9 courses high or higher. Use other types of bonding where indicated in the plan s. Completely fill brick joints and cavities with mortar. Make mortar joint thickness at least 3/8 inch and no more than 5/8 inch. Finish joints that will remain exposed after backfill with a concave jointer. Flush cut all other joints.
