Brickwork Day Two

Today it felt as though I worked as a meteorologist given the time I spent checking the forecast and rain radars. We had a torrential downpour right on starting time for the tradies this morning and I was certain that they would have a wet weather day. You can imagine my absolute glee at discovering that not only did we have more brick work but we also had our windows delivered! 

Many of our windows have now been installed, along with the stacker doors. The joining stacker doors to our alfresco are really a highlight, they look even better than I had hoped. 

The most impressive progress has come from our brickies, who are doing a truly wonderful job. The workmanship and attention to detail in the brickwork is exemplary and they have taken a lot of care to blend the natural variations of the bricks. In the past I have thought of bricks as a fairly mundane material, yet the work on our alfresco columns shows that it is an art indeed.
