Re-bricking pretty much complete

The re-bricking has pretty much completed and the eaves have been lined again. The bricks still need to be cleaned and some render is still required above the front door and around the side of the house. We still believe there are some brick defects (overhanging slab) but overall the brickwork is a lot better than beforehand. Unfortunately, there's quite a bit of damage to the colourbond capping over the bricks that will need to be repaired or replaced.

Here are some photos:

The front elevation has been completed and the timber fascia above the entry has been replaced. The fascia will be painted the same colour as the front door.

The entryway. The rendered brickwork above the doorway has been replaced with face bricks. These bricks will need to be re-rendered and painted.


The alfresco area brickwork is done and the ceiling is pretty much lined, apart from the cornice.


An odd articulation joint. Articulation joints normally line up with the edge of the window. We'll get the inspector to examine this joint.


Damaged render finish on the front facade. The lining is probably covering more damage.


The capping on top of the bricks is all bent. It used to sit almost flush with the brickwork.


From the side, you can see how the capping is bent and doesn't sit straight on top of the bricks.

The kitchen bulkhead has been modified to fit the rangehood. Eden Brae have accepted responsibility for the rangehood when it goes in and the rangehood will be "corniced"around. The hole in the wall on the right will accommodate a touch screen and video door intercom.
