We've got walls!!

Every day the external walls are going up higher and higher and the studio is becoming a very real, very imposing reality. Today will be Day 10 of block-laying, and already the walls are far taller than I. Using dry-stack blocks is a very quick process indeed.

Yesterday we had our very own brand, spanking new scaffolding delivered - Adam and I put it together last night in the dark - and it is cool. It officially looks like a construction site out there now. I can't believe we own scaffolding! Not something I ever aspired to, but awesome all the same.

More deliveries this morning - this time, 10 more pallets of concrete blocks (that makes 20 pallets total so far). I will have to get the exact number of these blocks used overall to give a clearer picture of this stage of the project - I can say, with each one weighing somewhere in the region of 15kg... there's a few muscles bulging.

Here are some more photos, taken yesterday afternoon. Already this morning there has been much more progress made - I just can't keep up! :)

Reinforcement needs to be installed at metre intervals within the walls.
