Brick Laying

Published by admin in Blog on April 13th, 2010 | No Comments »

We were back to concentrate on our single storey extension this week, and it was only a four day week due to a Bank Holiday Monday.  On the Tuesday Stu and I put in the block and beam floor.  Stu cut out all the openings into the existing house brick work so we could slot the concrete beams into position.  After the beams were in, it was just a case of in filling the beams with the concrete blocks to provide the new floor area.
 

The rest of the week was spent doing the exterior face brick work.  Stu the cement technician was on the mixer serving up barrows of his finest recipe cement, and in between was loading out the site with bricks and blocks and making up the window and door frames, while I was on brick laying duty.  I was a bit rusty on the brick laying at the start of the week, but soon got up to speed by the end of the week and things were progressing nicely.  A nice simple week.
