Stage 3 - Pour the slab, lay the first row of bricks.

  Just thought I would add this
to the website which I painted while I was in Broome last time.

My first portrait inspired by Rolf Harris's TV show. I couldn't display it on the Web before as
it was a surprise 50th Wedding Anniversary present to my in-laws, Betty and Maurie.

The plumbing has been installed by Charlie

The mesh has arrived

The day of the pour. 8m3 of concrete laid in 50 minutes

4 on wheelbarrows and Rocko spreading

The final screed

Helicopter smooth

Had a bit spare so we straightened the driveway

  The new mixer

All the pieces fitted. 1.2 cubic feet. Just big enough for
the speed I lay bricks.

Ready for the first course of bricks

Fixing the paving to cut down the sand blow.

Next time- Timber frame goes up, window and door frames installed, moisture barrier goes in
and bricklaying starts again.
