353

One of the bricks had a crack in it and I gave it a twist and it disintegrated.

I mowed my site and staked out a rough outline of where the shack will sit. It is so little. I hadn’t appreciated how small it was.

I established a couple of positions that I can take regular photos from.

Because I am changing the orientation of the bricks they now don’t fit so sweetly – the width is no longer half the length. This may mean that I need bricks 2/3 length. I’m laying out the bricks in the shed, and I’ll build a couple of layers high to see what my exact needs are, and what dimensions the shack will be. It is fine to sketch things on paper but things can drop out differently in reality.

The way the bricks respond to water hasn’t been particularly impressive. They just suck the water up like a mop. Maybe I will need to do some pretty severe painting of them.

Progress has been poor of late, I haven’t had a lot of interest in the project, preferring to make picture frames.

How good is this?
