Getting ready for the brickies to do the face wall of the garage, side garage wall 11m long and finish the 10 remaining piers.

Had 1600 bricks come this week but came on crame truck, not forklift, so had to move then manually to the slab today, plus another 500 I had laying up the drive. 2.5t white brickies sand, 4.2m T bar lintel and hopefully they start this week.

Dude, this is getting exciting. This is quite a big job being so connected to the house. I hope your kitchen and baths are operable.
Smile Steve, you are getting it done. :D :D :D :D :D :D

Well since the wall was done, I was focusing on getting OJ out for miller, cutting it in half and so on, two weekends lost there. Maz went away for a girls weekend so I had James, weekend lost there. Any other weekends were spent cleaning up the yard, removed 4m3 of bricks, 1000kg of green waste. Other trash also removed to tip.

Have two weeks of in Oct and Ferdy booked in to work (on the house), ordered my wood, last weekend pulled out hardwood joists and bearers from my neighbours house this past weekend, all prepping for 2 weeks time.

Still need to level some leftover dirt in my subspace, get my antcapping on and some small other crap.

Full steam ahead Steve! It's funny to see the photos now after seeing it in person, it's going to be a great space when done.
