Welcome back.
If you wanted to ask a Brickie about who, what, where, when.
What sort of questions would you ask.
I ask this because I want to put a FAQ page on the Brickwork site, and being fully conversed in brickwork, I dont know what youse lot would ask. :o
Please ask what ever you want about brickwork and I will endeavour to put the answer on the web site.

"But sandstone blocks are BIGGER than bricks! Why can't you finish the wall in half the time?" :p
Ok here's one, is there any advantage having the pointing sunken in over flush with the bricks?
What is the best product to render an old brick wall and then how to paint it . I understand that adding ocre or dye to the render is not an option , is that true ?
why are brickies uglier and smellier than carpenters who, by the way are the absolute Elite of the building trade and very very modest!
As its an FAQ why not start it with wot you got and invite questions from viewers so the faq can develop by itself
btw Right On Christopha
I'd start pretty basic Al.
Why use brick instead of something else?
What's the difference between double brick and brick veneer?
Can I get bricks other than red?
That kind of stuff. Most FAQs are very basic, but really helpful to people who know little or nothing about it. Like me.

Our locaL JEWELLER has a nice ring that SWMBO likes in the window, what is the best brick to use to obtain the prize:brick:
The brickie's out there building me new wall but he's not using enough mortar to fill the gap between the bricks. Is he being cheap or is there a reason he doesn't want mortar squeezing out into the wall cavity?

I've heard of a Flemish Blonde but what is a Flemish Bond and are there other types of decorative layouts ?

oh ,
you use your level as a leaver to change your tires every time you get a chippies nail in it
,ok fare enough

I think Al was serious about his brickies FAQ,
and maybe he don't really want a drivel thread
(or not total drivel anyway)
