here it is, a whopping 2 square meters for me to render
haha
nice easy job for a neighbour and another neighbour wants theirs hacking off and redoing as the builder was a spanner and its falling off. but theirs is different... window is set back from the rest of the brick work and the render also doesnt go across the whole wall... as it has a smaller window.. so is 1 bricks length in from each end and also goes up each side of the wall each side of the window right to the top..., but is still recessed back level with the rest of the brick work... so im happy to hack it off and redo it
but for the one pictured... i was thinking the best way to do it would be across the whole front with hard angles each end and the small ammount at the top that would protrude either side of the window i could blend/feather that in slightly as opposed to it just being cut square.
also.. the blue bricks below the window frame protrude about 1cm or so... would i be alright to scratch up to the bottom edge of them, then put a sand cement slurry mix (whatever its called?) dabbed/slopped on with a brush over the blue bricks... and then the next day apply the top coat?
drip bead across the bottom ofcourse.. which strangely the builder didnt use on the other property
any thoughts?
