It was about May time of the year they done it

Have you see a round brick corner on a old building and the round tapers out to a square brick corner above your head, if you have then that's what you need to reproduce, but its a little bit more drawn out in plaster. A pic would be good rc as its hard to explain how you do one.

Here's the story, about four years ago they rendered the front of this old cottage, they meshed it up using rabbit wire, scratch coated it, left it about a week then floated it, left it a few days then tyroleaned it. I had seen the wall was hair lined cracked or crazed really and I thought it...
