G'day want2learn, that's a fantastic garage, did you do the bricklaying yourself? With the wall under the window, I noticed it's double brick. Is is cavity brick or are the bricks right next to each other? Also, do you only put mortar on the bottom and ends of the bricks, or do you also put mortar on the long side of the bricks where it sits next to the inside of the outer leaf of bricks? (I hope my question makes sense!)
