Hi All
I got some slips laid at the front of my house and I’m not happy with the job - some of the rows are a bit off, and when I challenged the brickie he said the slips are not cut straight and couldn’t be laid straight so I told him to stop the job. My assumption is despite brick slips being bricks the application is more relevant to a tiler than a brickie.
A few of my friends and family think that I’m getting to fussy about the house renovation I’m doing but I have a hang up about straight lines!! For me they need to be straight and level, and even though the slips I have are sort of rustic and they are not cut perfectly square I would have thought when laying you would need to factor that in with maybe some bespoke spacers.
Can you guys have a look at the pcis and let me know your thoughts and any ideas on corrections. The slips were laid with a rapid set flexi adhesive. If I were to take the slips off do you think the adhesive could be chiselled off cleanly back to a smooth surface of the original bricks so I could start again? Adhesive was laid with a 10mm notched trowel.
Thanks
Alex
