The best day of bricklaying. I even claimed that this was my best summer Saturday. Michael Green and I got into a really good rhythm, we were laying bricks so fast. We could have done a heap more, but the chicken was smoked and it was time to call it a good day. We completed a layer and then some. Paul arrived later on in the day and shot me in the ass with a BB gun.

In other developments, Aaron gave me a big old awesome window today. This thing is going to add so much style to the shack. It opens.

Thanks for coming out today lads, I couldn’t have come close to doing that without you.

Simon Peterson had said I should have one of those DOC signs pointing towards the shack. And I should. Today I met a guy who used to make those signs for DOC.

I was on track too. I ran out of cement. Someone said didn’t you see that coming? I should have. I was 3 bricks short of 4 layers, and that would have been a new day high also.

A good day. Michael was today’s guest and we got into a rapid rhythm, rocking out 12 bricks in about an hour at one point.

An early evening fade saw me lost to the world on the couch for a couple of hours. I then returned and had a really enjoyable headtorch-lit 4 brick session, finishing in the dark.

Tomorrow is my last day before I return to work. It has been a productive couple of months on the shack, and I shall remember this time fondly. On the whole I’ve really enjoyed the work. That being said, I’m looking forward to a return to work too.

I need to lay something like 28 bricks tomorrow to finish 4 whole layers. I think that’s on.
