Nice job. Might have looked a little better with a black band around the pipes to coincide with the quadrant tiles.

Hahah!

Great thread. Your brickwork looks damn good to me especially for a first attempt - great job! :thumbright: :thumbright:

I did some bricklaying doing our kitchen and found it soul destroying... how can something that looks so easy be so hard? And cement is an absolute dog to work with. It all came good in the end though.
