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.

Wednesday 1st - Friday 3rd Mark went to Esperence with his brother, Ken & his mother, Joyce for Aunty Rita's funeral (Thurs 2nd). The Downsborough clan farewelled Aunt Rita in style (& alcohol). It's a shame that funerals seem to be the main reason to get together at the moment...we need a few more weddings, birthdays & christenings! I sent my condolences & stayed home to try & finish my ECU work. I'm on the last unit - hooray! Saturday 4th Mark was jet lagged from traveling & was moving very slowly today. Not much progress to report! Sunday 5th Day Off. Monday 6th Dad & Tim's birthdays - Happy Birthday Guys!!! Mark ordered the ridge cap & put up more roof sheets. I handed him tools, clouts, tin etc thru the study nook so he didn't have to climb up & down the ladder. Knocked off early to go to dinner with the LuClay family to celebrate Tim's 15th birthday. Tuesday 7th More roof sheets went up - yeah we've finished ev...

He just needs to come back & connect the water to the new gas heater system Sat - Nick come over & helped Mark put on the ridge cap on the roof. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so thought we'd better get it done!
