Outside work
-
I assemble forms at the top of the hole for the septic tank to pour a level surface for the blocks
-
With the blocks laid, a dividing wall is built inside, the inside is browned and we prepare to pour the top
-
The foundation for the deck is laid and Frederick comes to lay more blocks. (he is quicker than me!)
-
I have trouble keeping up with the morter mixes
but soon we are ready to pour the columns
- 
Another mason, Serge, comes to finish off the browning and the top. The septic top makes a good work platform
- 
and the cistern makes a lovely deck...but I have to start browning the kitchen
- 
I need a nice sloppy mix and slap it on
- 
and smooth off with a rubber trowel
- 
A sign for the entrance now the deck, cistern and septic are done. We are ready for the party!
- 
Actually the deck still needs concreting, but that will have to wait, and we quite like the "beach".
Kinetic art? No, it is an anemometer.
