The Brickwork

Bricklaying in progress.




We didn't go for the mortar upgrade, because our front facade is completely rendered, and sides will be in the future.

 
Carlisle had a different approach to the order of activities related to brickwork and the internal plastering, that was a something new to the independent building inspector which I hired.
Basically when the frame is done, they wrap the house and start the internal plastering, at the same time start the external brick laying.
Normally they wait for the bricklaying to finish, before the plaster. This approach saves time, as plastering and brickwork happens simultaneously, rather than sequentially. Only risk is heavy rain can tear the aluminum wrap and water can leak in to the building which can damage the plaster.
