Bricks - Have Finished... Almost

It seems that things get finished to about 90% or so and then there is some sort of delay or reason it can't be finished. The brickwork took some time to get moving and started and stopped several times along the way. The main issue was with colour matching and but now we are complete... Actually we're not complete. The brickies can't complete the brickwork because there is scaffolding on the house and the garage space is covered with materials required to build our house. Ohh well, progress is still moving fairly quickly so we are happy either way.


On other news, they have started cleaning our bricks. We were quite concerned that the colour difference between brick batches, that caused brickwork to stop, was going to be an issue. It didn't look to good during installation and subsequent drying of the mortar btu it appears to be Ok now. In certain lighting conditions there appears to be colour differences in some areas even though these areas used the same batch of bricks. Move to view from another angle and all is well so I would say that once it is all completed the colour variation will be a non issue. Time will tell though.

Here you go...
