   What on earth is going on with those bricks between the studs?

     It’s called nogging. It was used as insulation (though it’s not GOOD insulation) and to keep pests out (it is in fact good for that). They used “salmon bricks” which are bricks that weren’t fired hot enough to hold up to moisture. A cheap way to keep rodents (including bats) from nesting in your walls.

       Thanks, Kit. I also wondered why the bricks were piled that way. Nogging!

     The bricks are the back of the south chimney, A.H.

   Am I the only one who always checks the URL of these periodic “Inching Along” posts to see that, for example, with this one we’re up to the 88th such entry? Part of me craves some variety, but now I feel like we have to eventually reach 100! 🙂

     Brian, I began my Time Travel series as a way of adding some diversity to the endless Inching Along posts!
