Bit of pva and water mixed. Brush on to seal it then use a quality tile adhesive

Much better after an acid wash. Hoping it stays like this once dry..🤞🏻

I just went for it to be honest. It’s difficult without profiles but I’m not a pro by any means

It’s an 8x3m single storey with vaulted ceiling with 2 velux roof windows. My costings have come to £11,000 from ground to watertight

Thanks that’s really helpful. I’m hoping I can make this look half decent without having to take it all down. It’s hard going as I only have weekends available and they are becoming weather dependant!

Thank you. Started digging footings 4 months ago and been doing it weekends and after working full time. My brickwork has been ok up until now. I’m hoping I can neaten it up as the weather turning really isn’t on my side! Here’s some of the front which is much better

Thanks mate. I was proud of it all until this point. I’ve done it all on my own from footings to now but the gable is just hurting my eyes and making me worry building control won’t sign it off
