Reinforcement: #6 vertical reinforcement @ 32" on center. 9-gaugejoint reinforcement/wall ties at 16" o. c. (every other course) Veneer: Modular clay brick 4" x 2-1/3" x 8"(nom. ) Cavity: 3" air space Insulation: 2" rigid expanded polystyrene in drainage cavity Flashing: Base flashing and weeps Veneer ties: Adjustable pintle and eye veneer ties Mortar: Type N, Portland cement /lime, plain gray Joints: concave tooled Regional Variations When masonry veneer is used in areas of high seismic risk, veneer ties are required to attach to the wire reinforcement embedded in mortar bed joints in the veneer. Check your local requirements – and save money by using normal veneer ties in areas of low seismic risk. Many areas of the western U. S. have good local sources for lightweight aggregate, and the use of lightweight concrete block (CMU) is the norm. In other parts of the country, medium weight and normal weight block are more common. Structural masonry walls in areas of high seismic risk are required to have additional horizontal bond beams to resist seismic loads.
My hosting company had no explanation either. Regardless, I've learned my lesson. I'll be doing a reverse DNS lookup on any of my IP address from now on a regular basis.
