Tuesday and Wednesday, just a continuation of the bricklaying, most of what has been done so far is left underground, the foundations are a little deep, due to the severity of the winters, it also explains why it is such a robust foundation. Every second row of bricks has two strips of 10mm steel for reinforcement, towns engineer, when asked, ``Why it has to be so robust?´´. Replied, ``We want that the foundations last for 100 years´´. Which I suppose is a good thing, at least I wont be around to complain to.

MORE DETAIL
JONI, BUILDING THE SUPPORT FOR FIREPLACE.
MORE MATERIALS ARRIVE, this time it is the Styrofoam for the foundations insulation, probably 20% of the cost goes into insulation. anyway, in a few weeks all of that will be buried, never to be seen again, just takes time getting there.
