Our house got plastered!

Went around for a look bright and early this morning and was happy to see that our house has been plastered.

I picked up a couple of issues with the bricking. The one that caught my eye was one of our front pillars is overhanging by 50 mm!!! Will be asking for this to be rectified ASAP. I think the only way is to box up the area and pour some more concrete.

Plenty of photos below.

Fish Tank 'Alcove'

As most of you may already know, I have utilized one of the rooms (study) and turned it into a 'fish room' with an in-wall fish tank. 

Today I went out and made sure the alcove was built to the measurements I specified. I was glad to see that the framers got it 100% accurate as I asked. 

My only concern is that the measurements I gave have been used as frame to frame measurements. Where as I wanted them to be between plaster.

Can anybody advise how thick the standard plaster used is?
