Onwards and upwards (1st - 8th Feb)
Sunday 1st
Day of rest.
Monday 2nd
Back to slab & garden city for more sand and then to Limestone city to pick up the last 4 limestone blocks needed for the side wall. The limestone is finally finished. Hooray!
Tuesday 3rd
Mark went off to Bunnings to buy steel and brick ties etc. I spent the morning doing ECU work & sent off the first module to my supervisor! Mark laid the first course of bricks and I mixed mud. That's all we did today as Tara & Nick are coming over for a BBQ.
Wednesday 4th
We had a day off today as Mark has worn the skin off the tips of all his fingers laying the limestone. We are both buggered and need a rest.
Thursday 5th
I went to Bunnings to return our ubeaut hammer drill as it gave up the ghost yesterday. Also went to brick up bricks for the internal walls...but Midland brick did not have them in stock in our local store. So we'll work out what we need and order a few packs to be delivered. Mark put up the steel guides for the brick courses.
Bree, Amanda and Samuel arrived just after lunch. Sam tried to give Pa a hand...I think it will be a few years before he'll be much help. However he's so cute and his laugh is so infectious you have to laugh with him.
Bree & Tom came over for a BBQ dinner. It must be kids week this week....it was good to spend some time with them.
Friday 6th
Mark went off to do Cobra work today & I ordered bricks and attempted to do ECU work. The bricks got done but I didn't get far on my ECU job. Mark got home about 3pm and at 5pm we decided to go lay bricks. 3 courses done.
Saturday 7th
Only worked half a day today as it is Clayton's birthday and we are helping him celebrate. However I mixed mud and Mark managed to lay another couple of rows of bricks so the wall is slowly growing.
Now off to celebrate....1st stop - Fremantle prison to do the new tunnel tour, then back to Luisa & Clayton's for dinner and drinks.
Sunday 8th
Day of rest. Well not exactly, but no renovation work. I'm just washing, cleaning, & blogging and Mark is contemplating our next tasks. He has decided the roof has to come down as we need the bricks from the bedroom wall to do the front & side external walls. So tomorrow it's off with the roof! Oops let me correct that...he's up on the roof demolishing the asbestos. I think part of the roof is coming off today. I hope he does it quietly!
