  • Job From Hell

    Here is my latest finished project the *shudder* double story house, every time I do a double I always say "never again" this one was particularly painful as we had to redo and redo the scaffold as the licensed scaffolders just couldnt get their heads around it from a bricklaying perspective.
    Its black bricks and its so ugly, but the owner was happy...


    The house fills most of the block of land.

    If you are thinking about building a brick oven, my advice is Here.

    I try to learn from my mistakes, and from yours when you give me a heads up.

        Black brick? Why would anyone even make something that ugly??

        It's enough to get a picture of your house plastered all over the internet!

          For some reason the black bricks are very popular, not environmentally friendly as the absorb more heat from the sun...

          I did a black brick house with black mortar some years ago, it looked quite depressing.
