Render inside and out

Back from holidays and the builders have been busy, the bricks have been rendered inside and out. I guess this is sort of a pre-render to smooth things out before the coloured texture render gets applied.

I didn't realise they rendered the interior brickwork as well. A lot of these construction techniques are unfamiliar to me in comparison to the brick veneer style used in Victoria.

I'm not quite sure why there are so many marks that have been patched up. It almost looks as if someone has been through with a stick and randomly started scratching up all over the place. Perhaps I'm being paranoid, the builder didn't mention anything. The plaster will cover it all up anyway so it matters not.
