It is a perfectly ok way to build using starter packs to tie them together, looks crap but still acceptable by regs and will be structurally sound.
It really shouldn't be done where you can see it, though. With our extension they used those steel tie things for all the hidden joints and cut and interlaced for the exposed bits.
I know... hence why I said it looks crap. I was more pointing out to the other guy posting that although his neighbours extension looks like it isn't tied in it at all, it will be using the above.

I suppose it'll be a lot less obvious once the mortar has weathered to dull grey like the rest of it.
Sorry were you referring to the garage door build-up pic or the pic with the guy having a dump...

I watched two blokes adding these panels to a fence that overlooks our yard at work yesterday. Only today did I notice what a mess they had made of it.
What the bloody hell is the point of that? Is it because they have a very large climbing dog? Building a stockade? Or some strange inter-company tennis net?

Ashridge conference centre, the view from the loo. The tiles on the right aren't square either.

I'd like to ask the bloke/woman who signed that rear-end off what was going through their mind at the time. Stands out a mile in general traffic as well, and not in a good way. Fine line between bold design and ghastly mistake I reckon.

That edit makes it look like one of those revolting imports-only from the East. Re-badged over here as a Land Rover Relaxtron or somesuch.
