One of the busiest stores on a Saturday or Sunday is the huge DIY warehouse about 2 kilometres away from where I live. It is open 7 days a week, something our supermarkets fail to do. It sells just about everything needed to establish and maintain a house and garden. I needed to pay it a visit when......
a few weeks ago I began building my first ever brick wall. It is not finished yet, as I am having to learn as I go and where most first timers might try something straight, I decided to complicate the process and add a curve or two. Not the most intelligent thing I have ever done.
Step 1 needed a cement foundation. Luckily a friend helped with the mixing, which was done in a wheelbarrow.
Step 2, (where I am now) required me to learn a brand new skill, i.e. laying bricks. I still have not laid many, but I seem to be getting the idea and the wall is growing, albeit very slowly. It's all part of the plan to have a couple of raised beds and begin growing fruit trees and vegies.
Here is the latest....almost finished, but still obviously a work in progress.
