And Then There Were bricks

As if by magic, or the reality of a lot of hard, near frozen graft.  We have bricks sticking out of the ground.

You can now really start to see the footprint of the house, albeit at the one end for now. 

There was a 24 hour delay this week due to the inclement weather.  Apparently it needs to be 2degrees and rising for you to brick lay, and as a rough estimate it was -10 and going nowhere on Monday!

Further demonstration that these guys really seem to know what they are doing. 

It looks like we may have lost some of the internal dimensions, due to the ‘tightness’ of the site and the force-upon-us plinth, but I hope this will matter little at the end.

No problems with the locals this week so far (I’ll deleted that sentence when they start).  In fact in my quest for a water supply at the weekend I met a lovely couple. 

The people that now own the house that my land once belong to, are really nice and accommodating.  They welcomed me into their home and couldn’t have been more helpful in supplying my builder a water supply for his mortar.  Long may it continue, and as they have just become grandparents I shall be offering them Max for training purposes!
