      Lovely brick work, @Giles . While, I may not be there to put a level on it, it appears someone understands the concepts of plumb, level, and straight.  😉

      Carl, the brickie is amazing.  He did all the brickwork on the main extension, he now uses me as a filler, if another job gets delayed, he turns up and does what he can at the house.  Keeps him working, I pay less and we're all happy….

          The brick work on the barbecue area looks top notch, congrats!!
          We see a lot of brick work where I live and it is unusual to see that bricklaying quality.  😎 😎

          The journey is the objective.

            Well, some of it.  This wall can't be done until the doors and window are installed.  They can't be installed until the stone threshold arrives.  Quarry that is making it seems to think that mañana is too urgent….

                            There was a substantial delay in construction, but things are moving again now.  Fingers crossed, we'll be able to move in by the end of the year.

                                    We started fitting the kitchen.  We are using all the old units, plus some new ones.  Whilst the new ones are from the same company, 12 years on, they have modified the design a little, so Les and I have a load of frigging around to get the two generations to work together…...
