Is the brick going to cover all the concrete?, if so how do they get the brick to stick to the concrete?  Thank you.

Brick would be installed th same way it would on a building, the brick wall sits on a ledge of concrete or steel and is tied back to the concrete walls with metal ties every few courses to keep it from " falling forward" therefore it isn't "glued" to the wall. Also common is a 1" air space behind the brick to allow any water or moisture to run to the bottom of the wall and drain out via weep holes and keep it out of the wall Smile
