The "sections" to me make it look like fake stuck on rock.

Sorry.

Does a brick wall look like stuck on bricks every 75mm. I think it looks great.

86mm Baz.

And no it doesnt because it still doesnt have that break in it.

There was a fake brick cladding that did the rounds back in the 80's that had the break at 600mm and it looked, well fake.

G'day,
It was probably me...having a bad hair day...that said the dreaded words "Ikea Architect" that upset a few........sorry.
I should have said .....Wonderful use of local resources .IMHO I think your architect has made a "nanna design decision" that is basically a WOFTAM.
Around my area, there are thousands of chimneys from the 1850's that survive after their attached house has rotted/burnt/dissolved.
These chimneys have been made from
Bricks....no cement..just sand and lime mortar
Mud...either cobbed or bricked...joined with mud
Stone.....(local) some drywalled, some jointed with lime and sand.
They all still stand........but not one of them was architect designed, and none of them have those joins.
There lies my practical objection.....couple with my asthetic objection.....didn't like it.
Sorry, but that's my opinion.

There's another point, apart from the poor bloke who paid the architect to use this wonderful local resource in this manner, some other bloke (spelnux) took umbrage at what had been posted and replied........

"Jeeze you guys are a bit harsh.

If you don't like it, don't post. "

Well, sorry mate, have a look up the definition of "FORUM", and I believe it says things like "a place of meeting for public discussion" ..and also "giving opportunity for debate"
The debate is happening........and I will post, even if I "don't like it".

Second "bad hair day".

Noel

Fair enough....

Perhaps saying "don't post" was a bit harsh, but I just felt sorry for the bloke. He is proud enough of his work to go to the effort of posting a picture here, and two out of the three opening comments were pretty disparaging.

If you were a little more constructive in your criticism the first time, rather than making a one liner comment about Ikea, I could have understood where you were coming from.

I guess I was just reflecting on my recent experiences here, as I am planning to build a deck. Everyone has been fantastic in offering advice from personal and professional experience. To go part-way to reciprocating their support I am hoping to post a few pictures here of the construction sequence, however I would like to think that after all my blood sweat and tears have gone into building the deck, the people here would have something positive to say, even if it wasn't something they would like to have at their place. I would expect that people with far more experience than I would be able to offer ways of improving the deck, or their advice on better or more efficient ways of doing things, and from my perspective, any input is valuable, but it needs to be constructive criticism.


Anyway, I really didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.


Cheers
