Last week was slightly better on the weather front, so much so we nearly put in a full week of work! Only nearly, as we had Wednesday off due to the rain.

Wayne continued to build up the exterior block work, I continued to keep loading out the blocks for him, and Stu continued to keep the supply of cement flowing.  I also made up the remaining timber frames for the windows and doors.  Once Wayne had got the exterior blocks up to a height where we require the scaffolding erected so we can continue, we moved inside the build to start on the interior blocks.  I had the job of going round laying the first three courses of bricks for the interior walls, so the interior blocks then run at the same height as the exterior blocks.  I can see why Wayne gave me this job, I spent all of my time bent over, and my back was aching big time at the end of each day.  Wayne then followed on behind me laying the blocks.

It was cold Thursday and Friday, but the sun was out, so it was very pleasant working conditions.  By the end of the week, the interior was starting to take shape and once again we had all worked hard to pull things back after losing so much time the previous week.  But looking at the weather forecasts, I am not looking forward to all this snow that is supposed to be coming our way.
