Construction Channel Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 And the prize goes to Jeremy ?. There are more bricks to be laid but that was the last one that mattered. Now I can get it scaffolded properly and finish the roof. Then finish the inside, move in and have babies. But it I really am glad that is over. I'll check the dates when I start making the video later but I would guess it has taken me nearly a full year to clad that house in bricks.

ProDave Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Jeremy wins on a technicality. You know when I said "you" you know I meant the pair of you. Anyway congratulations. I know what it's like to be building slowly with no third party help. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what we said a year ago - except the babies bit; did that 30 years ago. The only sort that we look forward to are the grand kind. 1 down and ? to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryE Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Jan's mastered the chop saw and I've even got her measuring cuts to the nearest mm, but she still leaves me to do the table saw work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I being too deprecating, and Norfolk has a strange breed of pidgeon with a triangular a**e? (Good video) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had 2 attempts so far at throwing the brick and both have cracked. yes I could try again. And realistically it would take me 20 mins to actually work some more clay and throw it in the mould. But I am a busy "ish" man. I've got newer and much more interesting things to half finish before I get back to that.
