Last week we poured our concrete strip foundation and we have now moved onto the block work. Monday was a day of stacking the first blocks, taking measurements and setting up lines. By the end of Monday we were all ready to start with the first course in the morning.

    The weather has been good this week in Skye, hopefully it will continue.

    I did one day in stacking blocks and busted my back, I don't how these guys do it.

    As long as the house is wind and water tight by around the Autumn, I'll be happy with that. :)

     

    The joiner wants to start cutting the kit on site early in May.

    I wouldn't get anything done there - I'd stand and stare at the view all day!
