How do I mend a brick wall & replace current brick mending?

Question

I have a house and the brick walls have these long bolts and big wooden washers that are 1x4. The long bolt goes through the wall, and these ugly wooden washers, that are on here to keep the bricks together are here.

Is there another method I could use to stop or repsir the cracks in the brick walls, by removing these things and doing something else?

I don't want the walls to fall down, but I want to repair them differently to make them nicer looking. Outside you can see the obvious cracks/separation of the bricks.

It is awful to look at them in my bedroom & kitchen. They ruin the room's appeal.

Answer 1

It sounds like you need to get your foundation repaired before you think about doing anything to the wall.

Any repair to the wall will be for nothing if the foundation continues to dhift.
