What do you mean by that?

The final result is supposed to look like the sample joint you see here. This work hasn’t been done yet (according to the construction schedule from two weeks ago). That’s why I’m surprised. The person doing the jointing will have to find their way around the carport afterwards. Why put yourself through that hassle?

I hope this is not just meant as an example that some "screed Ahmed" will follow, misunderstanding the joint smoothing as a brick slip adhesive.

The company doing the jointing work actually has a pretty good reputation. So far, my general contractor hasn’t caused any problems either. Fingers crossed it stays that way. I’m just a bit puzzled about the schedule. Why do the carport first, then the jointing?

Especially since the scaffolding is already gone.

You usually remove cement residue at the very end.

Since I saw some pictures of cables here, I want to share mine. After a tradesperson said my cables were in the way and moved them aside, there was chaos at first. A day later, though, it looked better and in a way that nobody can cause chaos anymore. For your information: the cables going outside are still missing. There is about another loop of cables that was hanging on the left side of the room. I’m glad that part is over...

What did you use to seal the floor-to-ceiling windows on the outside? I've never seen it in that color (house color ).

I'm not an expert, but whenever I see images like this, I wonder why the floor-to-ceiling windows on the ground floor aren’t installed on a (narrow) row of bricks or blocks, with a "window sill" on top, and then finished with plaster like the rest of the wall? As soon as there is a minimal parapet height, this is generally how it's done.
