Bricks

22/3/14 - Our bricks finally started being laid today. There were 2 guys working and they laid about 18 rows on the third garage wall. Love the colour with the different tones in each brick, just hope they match the windows and downpipes and render.

Bricks to the right of the expansion gap are common bricks which will be rendered to match the front of the house


25/3/14 - Brickies have been working very hard for the last 2 days, there were at least 5 of them on-site today and we are very happy with how much they have gotten done.

1/04/14 - Bricking continued today, looks like there is only about a days work left finishing off around the windows etc.








3/4/14 - no action with the brick work at all since tuesday, after being told by SS on monday that it would be completed on tuesday. SS now cant give me a date that they will return to complete, but assures me that it wont hold up progress on the house. Will not be paying the bricking invoice until it is completed.

23/4/14 - The brickies finally returned today and have started to finish off the remaining brickwork, hoping they will get it completed tomorrow. Cant wait to see it finally finished.


24/4/14 - Most of the sills were finished today, looks like just one back sill, some work above the garage door and front window to go and the bricks will finally be completed!
