Wow, love the brick building up top. I'm assuming you are from the serene San Marino since you mention euros .... well I think lots of people got in over their heads in 2007.

We don't do many brick buildings here in California but I did do a house with those thin bricks around the doors and windows and limestone veneer on the walls. It was supposedly Tuscan style

Cool pics. Tell me more about those brick laid on a 45*.

the job was for a school if i remember , Took about 5 days of trying different methods with the Architect
to get the final result, no mortar was used to not have a visible mortar joint.
placed # 4 rebar "4mm" inside a lot of brick and poured concrete columns inside to
stabilize the structure.
They had made a special silicon to tie the brick. this was a while back

This was a ***** and took us for ever.
The brick manufacturer refers us to all the non regular masonry jobs.
Try giving a price for these.

Very nice. I will try this. How did you do that, lay brick with dry sand and remove later?

Keep the posts coming, appreciate your work and doing something different.

I like doing strange jobs, it breaks up the monotony.

You are a trues craftsman. Jobs like you posted are for people willing to pay for unique and know it's not going to the low bidder. :thumbsup:
But yeah, Some of my quotes on out of the ordinary stonework are a nightmare. I must throw huge contingency percentages on top of each phase.....or I tell them. "You know my work, I'll do it by the hour." :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I think the design in the church would make a cool wine cellar, something cool to put in a basement someplace.
