That turkey was round my house few weeks back building a dwarf wall for the new porch to match the original brickwork and alow the soon to be, new bay windows to all fit together, what part of " I want a double brick wall with imperial bricks and a brick finish inside" they couldn't understand beats me because none of it was correct, I got home to find a single brick wall, metric bricks, crap inside finish and wasn't even level or the right height, hadn't been tied in and the old peble dash wasn't removed to butt the new wall up against the old........... I,m no bricky but I know the basics and I,m quite good at laying bricks (but not on the same time scale as proper bricky as the wife wanted it done this year) Its a shame these days that people are prepared to cut corners so much, I,ve called them people as they certanly weren't tradesmen.
