yes...

every couple bricks they leave it unfilled so the house can breathe.

Without doing this, you will actually see bricks burst due to pressure not being released.

Yup...its to let moisture out. If it gets in the bricks and freezes they flake apart.

lol....

it means..


"yes sir, we will re-pour"

guy mikes in to fanco the concrete guy, he runs over, grinders it all down where the marks are, repours a little patch to cover up.

he calls you back

"hey yooo Luka, guess what my friend, we have re-poured everything for yah!"

this is right after he just told the workers to cut back on material for a week so they started to screw in all ceiling fans into drywall without anchoring them into studs.

That's why I plan on taking pictures of everything we report, making sure our lists match or else I don't sign, and will bitch for the rest of my life if they do that.

They can't just pour a layer of concrete on top because it will just break apart.

they have different material.


Do you think that when a person has a foundation crack near the garage and have to cut into the garage that they repour the whole garage? common now....
