Hi folks,
I wanted to get some opinions (maybe a couple of professional ones too) on something that I have noticed on my house. The house is supposed to have brick infills abover all the windows and doors. I have noticed though that they decided to use a wooden infill above the alfresco doorway. At first I thought this was odd as this is the only one however I now realise why they did it. The brickwork either side of the doorway is not at the same level. On one side they have used about 1.5 inches of mortar below the first course and on the other about 0.5 of an inch. The result is that above the doorway the bricks don't run parallel with top of the door. On one side the gap is one full brick course and the the other its about an inch short. The solution is to run the steel lintel a course higher and fill the gap with a wooden infill. Only problem is that the infill will have to be cut at an angle to match the gap. Now that I have noticed this my eyes keep zooming in on it every time I see the alfresco.
So what do you think? Is this acceptable? Is this normal or an accepted occurance according to the regulations?
I don't see them re-doing all the brickwork but at the same time I think it looks ****.
