Bricks and More Bricks

Well well, things have been moving quickly this week. I visited the site on Wednesday and found many more bricks than I was expecting!



This is the view from the front. The bricks here were layed using the device in the picture below, to allow them to get a bit higher. But the top-most bricks will need them to get higher still.



Here is what they used to lay the second height level of bricks.



This is the brick pier in our outdoor room.



This is the inner corner of the outdoor room. The bricks go all the way up to the roof here. Above the door and window here will be fibre cement infill, but nearly all other windows have brick infill. The only other fibre cement infill is above the balcony door at the front.



This is the front pier, which will have stack stone over it. Seems they didn't use dodgier bricks even though these will all be covered up. The wire is for a decorative light to light up the pier, since it's the only interesting thing on our facade.



Someone has been busy with the electrical wiring too.. wires for all the lights appear to have been placed.



The wires look like this, throughout the roof of pretty much every room. I didn't check upstairs so as not to disturb the people working up there.
