Not a flamingo, does it say Flaming?

How brickwork should be done....toothed in. Boils my urine, seeing bricks just thrown in!!

Again, another bit of ‘how’s jobs should be done’ dying off.

It's getting harder and harder to find the matching bricks esp the old ones

Nice work. Have you moved the boiler or going to core through the new bricks?
