I think they take particular care with the brick cleaning - too much pressure will blow out the mortar, and too little pressure won't clean enough.T&Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444351220885130201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475803884920956551.post-14708870457831193632010-06-16T18:03:34.968+10:002010-06-16T18:03:34.968+10:00Hi Guys

I'm up to bricklaying stage now, and like you guys have a new SS who is new to Metricon.<br /><br />He's pointed out that Austral Hawthorn is not a square edged brick and flush mortar might look uneven and 'spill' on to the face of the brick. I note you guys have Hawthorn and flush off-white mortar. Have you been happy with the eveness of the mortar job?<br />Thanks<br />JulianAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475803884920956551.post-85452006976984926822010-06-12T16:13:10.082+10:002010-06-12T16:13:10.082+10:00MAke sure if they have cut any of the steel rio in...MAke sure if they have cut any of the steel rio in the footing that you get an engineers report and if they have it is a big no-no for them to fill in the hole with dirt, because and steel touching the dirt will rust. It should be filled in with concrete which will not rust the steel.Syrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10665020136916965761noreply@blogger.com
