No rest for the wicked, or so I have heard, must have been grossly bad at some stage in my life.
Thursday saw us putting up the lines for the bricklaying, so it was measure, saw and screw all day, as it is a packet/element/flat pack house, or whatever you want to call it, there is not much room for error in the measurements, not that the towns engineer would let you get away with it, that's why it took the whole day.
Lines set out for the bricklaying
First bricks in place, only another 600 or so to go
Back of the house, just as a matter of interest, like the neighbours colour choice? Lilac, I ask you?
Friday saw us start on the bricklaying proper, the first row is always a little slow, as I try to get it straight and level, still we managed to do a complete round of the house foundation, the weather has improved, dull and cloudy, but dry, which is more important, as long as the inclement weather can hold off for the next two weeks, then we will be right on track for having the base ready.
ARI, in charge of the mixer, keeping me well supplied, sometimes too well supplied.
Just a smidgen more water, or what?
