Unfortunately, building has been halted by a rather lengthy delivery for window formers. Brickwork has been progressing well – blocks are at window cill level with bricks about a foot lower.

What can I say? Delays were costing me time and denting my enthusiasm. This delay was courtesy of Jeld-Wen UK.

Block laying this weekend. Went very well, reasonable weather, good progress! Back to bricks next week (did a few on Sunday!). Now only need a good few days so I can cut the cavity through into the existing wall!
