Our bricklayers are still fighting the rain but at least the house is nearly bricked, much like the roof is nearly tiled. The brick is quite different to our expectations as all the samples showed the colour as an even light brick. It was a shock to suddenly end up with a speckled house but its a done deal now. We are telling ourselves it gives our house 'character' but family & friends have commented that they like the look so I guess its all a matter of taste.
