rain stops play

Rain hampered our bricklaying one afternoon so we hid in the Wendy house!!

the wall so far.

we put together some steels for the foundations and columns then we poured the foundations then we built some walls then we built some more walls (90 square meters) then we put some steels in for the first beams check out the shanty platform!! and just wait until I post some pictures of the scaffolding we are using. Building a supporting wall is a whole load of work!! Laura is working too but I haven't taken any photos of what she is doing!!! but I assure you she has been working!!
