    Well, I work in construction and I do a lot of brick façades, I must say that the work with the brick was in my opinion, brilliant, clean, and the owner of the house should not say anything else except: Thank you. Congratulations, that was a motivation for my next job. Keep going.

    Ask for it. I can see the logic in doing so, also I personally know that rock wall Saggs over time .
    A top tip for keeping the cavity clean. Use metal frame ceiling channel. ( MF7 as you build moveing it up as you go along.

    I'm going to school in Norway now to become a "bricklayer" and a few other things linked to that. They're teaching us to use slightly different materials then you used and some more bracing for the inside bricks and instead of insulation we leave space for the air to circulate behind the outer bricks. No disrespect intended, looks awesome anyway.
