So in this part we'll look start to look at how Artur intended to lay bricks on the foundations that were incorrectly laid.
Artur's appointed brick layers had done ~1 day of laying bricks before leaving site and not returning. I suspect they realise the foundations where in the wrong place as outlines in Part 1 of this and decided this was a job they did not want to be involved in. But this was not until they had laid some bricks which actually overhang the foundations as shown in the photo below. I think they thought that back filling around the bricks as they went would mean this would not be spotted. But once inspection pits were dug it became clear what had happened.
Where these bricks are the wall would be 1m high so have a significant downward pressure and would have failed after a very short period of time.
All the information in this post was provided as part of the court case.
