Would building a brick wall like this actually compromise the strength of it much? I would guess that so long as the mortar isn't too thick it should hold up alright over time, but i donno shit about masonry.
the problem with using recycled bricks is that they have already lost their weather endurance because that top coat is gone. so adding bricks that have lost their own integrity means your putting flaws in your foundation
are you sure that bricks have a "top coat"?
they do, but it isn't like something you add it's the skin of it after being baked
