Re: Need help from Brickies
OK calm down........ No.1 photo is a little bad but can be sorted very quick and easy, once the wall is pulled off you wont even notice ( however i see your point and it does look bad)
No 2 Mortar not right to the edge ......... and ? this is more than acceptable, after all being gibrocked/ plasterd .. Normal
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!!! Try setting out,arches, piers,corbals,bulleye windows most guys i know run a mile........... Let Marcus have a look, i can't as i'm on the east coast now.
A picture only shows so much! or is it a thousand words

Re: Need help from Brickies
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.
