Tag Archives: knocked wall down

Thursday 2nd August 2012 – I DIDN’T TAKE …

… a photo of the work that I did on the wall today. There’s a good reason for this, and I’m as malade as a perroquet as they might say around here.

I put a lot of work into what I was doing too. I removed all of the breeze blocks that I don’t want in the wall, hung the window framework, and then built up a fair few rows of stones both inside and outside, filling the space in between with lightweight concrete.

It was all looking quite impressive too and so you can imagine just how totally depressed I was when with just a few minutes to go before I planned to knock off, I dropped a rather large stone right onto the wall and knocked off about 2 rows of what I had built so far today.

One very unhappy bunny, especially as I was out working until 19:30.

Had I knocked off at 19:00 – the usual time for finishing when I’m on summer hours,, none of this would have happened.

Anyway, apart from that, I had the usual couple of hours on the internet, and a chat with Rosemary on the phone.

Later on, I even had a visit from Bill and the Hound of the Baskervilles. I seem to be in demand again.

Anyway tomorrow I’ll have another go on the wall and try not to knock anything off it again.

With all of this cement that I’m mixing, I’m starting to notice a lack of water in the water butts now. A storm is forecast for Saturday night – I hope so!
