Todays work

My brother came down today to help me finish off the garage brickwork. As you can see from the pictures the trusses are hanging upside down on the walls, so all I need to do is swivel them around and clamp them into place.

I decided that the 'soldier' bricks across the lintel were pants, and they needed to come off to be re-bricked. My brother has more patience than I do, so I got him to do them, but his were as worse as the effort I had done. Neither of us were happy with them. So, we decided that soldier bricks were lame anyway and we pulled them down and just bricked it up horizontally. They look miles better :-) And straight.















Anyway, the breeze blocks are all done now, so all I have to do is finish the bricks across the lintel. The roof will be assembled either next weekend or the weekend after...almost there now!

Good to see the garage is all coming together.
I love the phrase 'but his were as worse as the effort I had done'. Did your english teacher teach you that one?
Yeah, I know, i'm just as bad, but I couldn't resist a dig!
