Hello,

We bought a brand new home which is being built as I write. The front
of our house is about 1/2brickand the rest is siding.

Long story short -- they put the completely wrong colorbrickon the
front, which I noticed after I swung by a few days later (the job was
already done). Now they are going to tear down thebrickand put the
correct one up.

My question is this -- how do I make sure that they tear it down
carefully, prep the surface correctly again and put the newbrickup
correctly? I don't know what to look for or what to ask the job
foreman about in order to make sure we don't have anybrickdetaching
or water damage in the future. Do they have to rip off the old
flashing? Will there be possible damage to the house wrap (the house
is wrapped all around). Can they accidentally punch holes through the
plywood? I don't even know what else could go wrong or what to watch
out for.

Thanks for any replies!!!

Let me get this right. You don't know a thing, but want to go supervise so
they do it right?

Stay away from the jobsite and let them do their work. When you come back,
if it's not the right color, make them do it again.

Thanks Steve, that is very useful. I hope they built your house that
way as well.
That is WHY I am asking in this forum, so I can get information on
what to look for and make sure
they don't cut any corners or overlook a critical step that can lead
to problems in the future.

Please, if you don't have anything constructive to say, then DON'T SAY
IT.
