Day 152

Roofing on the garage, dining and outdoor area are nearly complete. No obvious progress inside.

We had a good look at the brickwork after the scaffolding was removed and noticed many imperfections in the brickwork. We understand that some imperfections might be expected with the bricking, however, there seemed too many chipped bricks especially on the corners, loose and cracked mortar, and in one area some of the bricks were jutting out slightly and so on. Below are some examples:

RHS Front Garage

Back Garage  

RHS Front corner of house

Chipped brick middle portico

Chipped brick middle portico pillar

RHS house - bricks jutting out slightly and loose/crack mortar

RHS portico pillar - difference in top brick pattern (see below)

LHS portico pillar - difference in top brick pattern

We will let the SS know and hopefully these can be fixed. They might appear minor but they happen to be in obvious locations and we wonder whether some of the chips and cracks occurred during the dismantling of the scaffolding. A big concern is if the mortar is coming loose now, what will it be like in a few weeks or months time?!
