No 3 Face brickwork on other side I PERSUME ... again normal otherwise he surely would have pointed the inside...

So once the wall in photo No1 has been run in you would never know ( just looks bad now )
Tme scale different ball game is he on his own does he have a labourer?
Prices are tight, But even more so do a good job and people will want you back!!
This is what makes the good stand out, however people have had it good for so long that any Tom Dick and Harry have been doing it, most people can lay a brick on a line!!!

OH has a labourer and a trainee and completes houses in 2 to 3 weeks so it does depend if he's on his own or not as to the timescales.

Walls do fall down sometimes though, if there's bad winds and the wall hasn't got all the support it needs as yet they will go.

Personally I am quite shocked at the standard of work though, in this climate OH wouldn't be getting any more houses if his work was like that.
