Thank you so much Oski & Fig - 3 years in a row now, 15, 16, 17 - I'm pretty happy about that.

Recycled tyre flooring - that sounds great! Is that like the rubbery floor material in a kids playground? Very envious of your project.

Sounds like you've made a decision not to cover any of the brick. Just to answer your question - the masonry adhesive is applied to the brick surface (not the Gyprock) in blobs approx 450mm apart. It sets pretty hard so to remove it at a later time you'd probably have to chisel it off. Any residue left in the surface of the brick could be touched up with brick coloured paint. Apparently you can also use cornice adhesive. Same way of removing & hydrochloric acid would remove any residue.

For me working at home means working on things around the house like cleaning out our WIR. Keeping busy is important for everyone during what will be a very trying period in our lives, we will need to keep reminding ourselves to stay positive we will survive this together
