 Post subject: Ok, wheres the Lintel?
PostPosted: Sun Nov 20, 2011 2:39 pm 
Same block of newbuilds as the Magic chimneys appeared on.
Now does anybody know why or how the G.F or project manager manage to miss this lintel before they removed the scaffolding! :scratch:

Not an ounce of mortar between the blockwork either!
