The Great Wall of Surbiton is nearly complete .. just some finishing touches such as capping off the chimneys and lots and lots of pointing.
A good view of the floor steel joist at the front. They needed to 'tooth' these bricks in to the chimney.
And the finished product.
A good perspective of the pointing. This is a very meticulous and labour intensive process. But it looks great.
A great view of the finished wall. The white bits are efflorescence - salts in the brick that escape when exposed to moisture - they will eventually wash away.
A view from the back .. just loving the little platforms that they guys make for themselves. This one was to cap off the rear chimney.
Another view of the parapet wall brickwork (and platform)
It took well over a month to build but the walls are finally complete. We're happy that we went this route vs the typical tiling.
