Non-Interlink Connection

Here is an idea I came up with a while back when I wanted to see a sturdier connection between two walls of differing color. Interlocking the bricks does not work because it would not be a smooth color change from one part of the wall to another. While bricks can be stacked side-by-side instead of interlocked, the the resulting walls can fall much easier. The Halsam Constuctioneer has a red strip part that fits over the pegs, however, it is too thick to put between bricks. This plastic envelope material is very thin yet very strong. I imagine one could use tyvek envelope material as well. For these 1974 bricks that were just handy, I didn't need to punch holes in the envelope strip. If holes were there, it would fit down over the pegs of even the oldest bricks and securely hold the two wall sections together. This chimney design is an example of the need for this different type of wall connection. It is very easy to knock the chimney over when moving this house. The back corner of that same house is an example of how bad an interlocking connection looks with different colored bricks.
