Cavity Tray at DPC level vs lean mix infill

[^woody^]

Whatever happened to angling the bed joint, not overloading the perp joint and a plank of wood over the cavity to catch the droppings?

The thing is with this hessian and cutting brick out palaver ...... there should not be any compo in the cavity to start with!

You tell that to a hungry brickie feeding four others whilst the contractor is screaming for more quantity.

Crap image but snots aplenty...

It's been a long long time since I've seen any proper brickies working

Surely it wouldn’t take much for a snot to settle above the hessian and remain in place post hessian removal. Anyway more to the point, you putting right the snags on new builds nowadays @noseall ?

Ended up having to rake some of the mortar out as the bricks held water (soaked despite being kept in the garage for a week!) and the low temps attacked it, three days after we finished laying in the fairer weather.

Good looking job, although that woodburner looks a bit lost in that massive Inglenook

Lol. Not part of my contract. Customer selected it. Correct, its swallowed up by the huge space.

Ill photograph it all when I've fitted the stone skirting. All the outside is complete i.e. gutter fascia soffit etc.

Looks great. Is that new big steel, with the framing above it, just there to support the new roof ridge beam? Rather than it bearing into the existing wall?

Correct.

Laughable really considering the roof load transfer and the proximity to the jamb masonry of that patio door opening.

The client's brother is the S.E. He had us put FOUR restraint straps up each side of that tiny gable, lol. I still rib him about it now.
