As far as termite protection goes cause of the cavities straight up the bricks i've asked for more termite protection. Re: 60mm Overhang On Bricks? 13Jun 22, 2011 7:27 pm The bricks over our garage were the same, it's not a good look, our builder fixed the problem, by adding to the lintel. It wasn't as much as yours is though and only to the front of the house over the garage. I would be asking for it to be fixed properly, it's just not right. Re: 60mm Overhang On Bricks? 14Jun 22, 2011 8:20 pm he only way to fix this is to drill lots of holes along the side and insert dowels all the way. Then poor concert into it. Although this method is very difficult once the bricks are already up.

Hi Debs, How did your builder fix the problem? I ask as the brickwork over our Garage overhangs the edge of the lintel by around 35-40mm and apart from it looking unsightly and poorly finished, our concern is that only around 2/3rds of the width of the bricks are being supported. http://i1091.photobucket.com/albums/i389/chorlton001/House%20Build%20Issues/IMG_4138.jpg Any advice appreciated....

Chorlton Hey Chorlton, What brick colour is that? Looks like the Austral impressions range.. Building with Jandson Homes - Eclipse 18. http://adgnetworks.blogspot.com/ Re: 60mm Overhang On Bricks? 17Jun 26, 2011 1:27 pm The carpenter got a piece of treated timber he placed it under the bricks, they then painted it paperbark to match. They have done a good job, you can't even tell it's been done now. My Son's boss was going to send his renderer over to render it, but we opted for the timber. Make sure you get it fixed as it's not a good look. I ddin't want that showing at the front of the house.

Hi Deb, I was actually thinking of suggesting this as a solution but wasn't sure if it was that sensible a suggestion. However, if its already been done and the final execution looks good, then I will definately suggest it.

Passed inspection. 13 7808 Thanks Ardo, they are sort of semi concealed. I think it is only a few millimetres. I see if they can adjust the hinges. 4 3799 |
