It's all about the bricks

Right, where were we? Winter was approaching, things got cold and damp, the days grew short and building slowed down a bit. But now we're off again, running.

Here's a re-cap on what went on in the dark months.

How to build a floor. Step one, empty the house.

Then bring in the gravel. Lots of gravel.

No doorframes or heads were harmed in this process.

Level the gravel. then level it again.

Then work through the night compacting it.

Lay down plastic, then add sand. More sand than you think, or more than I thought anyway.

so for a while there we had a beach inside! Just coz.

See!

Right! Time for those bricks. 2000 second hand reds arrived as ordered.

sorted and cleaned

and on to the fun part.

and on, and on. This is still happening, to be completed soon, but meanwhile, outside, just for something different...

I built a wall. Nice to stack bricks up for a change, rather than lay them down.
