Brickwork Continues

Front of the house is slowly getting bricked. Only 1 brickie and 1 labourer there today - another brickie to arrive on Wednesday. Apparently our bricks are proving to be quite heavy so it's a slow task.

Two rolls of black lining for the brickwork were swiped from our garage on the weekend so they had to be replaced, grrr.

It's funny how much the brick colour varies during the day. Sometime they throw quite a bit of brown, but then this afternoon they were back to a shiny blue.
