Last Brick
in the Last Wall
18 March 2005
As we built the last wall of the house I rather regretted we couldn't have
a window here
as the eucalypt is such a lovely sight. But I guess we have to put the stove
somewhere!
Just one more row of bricks to squeeze in
I don't think Jonni will be sorry not to have to heave bricks around any more
The last brick!!! When we began, I never thought we'd reach this stage and
I used to
go around the house with a notepad to count how many bricks we'd laid.
Actually I was more concerned with how many still had to be done
I finish my job as 'mortar mistress' ..........................
and a few days later it's all dry and complete. The pale brick half way down
on this last wall is a little plaque I inscribed with a nail -
I hope I'm not being too optimistic calculating that the house will be completed
some time in 2005
