The arrival of our bricks have caused some discussion with our neighbours who were comparing colours etc. Who would have thought that an oblong piece of coloured clay would be the subject of such animated and interesting discussion? Having the bricks go up is exciting but very soon we will not be able to walk around on site.
Steve was panicking about the fact that some of the bricks were orange and not brown and suspected that a mistake had been made. I explained that there would be a small number of common bricks for the construction of the balcony, which would then be rendered. Steve turned his nose up at the sound of ‘common’ but then I reminded him that he is a scouser and should be quite at home with the notion.

| Walls....actual walls!!!! |

| OK, half walls but its progress |
Metricon seem to have been ducking around the weather efficiently and are not losing nearly as much time as our other neighbors. They plan to stop at this stage, bring scaffolding on site and then get the roof on before returning to complete the bricklaying. Starting to catch Gabrielle up a bit.
