bricks are ordered

Its been a while since my last update, the weather has not helped, and work is busy. But we have ordered the blocks for the inner part of the garage, and the bricks for the house and garage. Seems there is a national shortage of bricks, and the brick companies are putting all efforts in to making standard bricks, so our specialist type brick has taken a back seat with a six month lead time! Luckily Travis Perkins have almost enough of what we need in stock at one of their branches so we have dibs on those, just awaiting a delivery time of 17,000 bricks:) The Celcon blocks are also in demand so been on order for a few weeks and await delivery of those aswell. As the weather is VERY wet at the moment the field is like a swamp, just the same as any large flat area of grass field, so not much can be done anyway without making a huge mess. With any luck i can start work on building the base of the garage up in the next couple weeks, then ill have a solid platform to build the walls up from.
