I had a home done by Enigeering company using 5" angle iron coated epoxy awith stainless steel bolts for brick ledge. We had the home sold and Inspector told the buyer do not buy the home because this is going to give in and wrought out over time and you will have yard full of bricks unless it is done with cement footing. Cement crumbles over time also. What are you thoughts on way the designed is.
