Getting ready for our brickies

Hi Everyone,
just thought I wouls share some progress with you all.
yesterday we spent 7 hours with the bricklayer marking out all of the walls on the concrete and working out where the brick palettes should go. He used this permanent oxide marker stuff and flicked it onto the concrete so that there is a precise guide for when the bricks go down. It was so fascinating to be part of and to know that we helped do it is really rewarding. Although the blisters and sore back this morning aren't so rewarding! here are some pics!
helen had to sweep the concrete first!! they seem to be teaching me to be a better housewife!!

brickie said he can't start for another 4 weeks which is a bit of a shame but he is worth waiting for!

cheers
