The convention for describing the thickness of a wall is relative to the length of a brick so goes like this. It may seem counterintuitive, and often causes confusion, but as its long established deviating from it will lead to even greater confusion.
A ½ brick wall which was sometimes called a 4 inch wall is:
A 1 brick wall which was sometimes called a 9 inch wall:
A 1½ brick wall which was sometimes called a 14 inch wall:
And so on, so the next is a 2 brick wall (18 inch wall) and then a 2½ brick wall (22 inch wall).

The information is important and faculties will be longing to save it in their data bank.
Keep it up.
I really love your site.. Excellent colors & theme. Did you build this amazing site yourself? Please reply back as I’m wanting to create my own blog and would love to learn where you got this from or just what the theme is named.. Thank you!

Thank you for your comments Ashley.
The site is based on WordPress and uses a child of Twenty Eleven theme which I created from the standard Twenty Eleven theme that comes free with WordPress. The colours I chose because I just thought they looked good and the illustrations are pictures I’ve taken, with or without help from Photoshop, or have been created in Sketchup.
If you have any other questions drop me a line.
Regards,

It’s nearly impossible to find well-informed people in this particular subject, but you seem like you
know what you’re talking about! Thanks
