We got the 2nd row done today before lunch, having started at 9am this
morning. That was 21½ blocks put down. We split one of the concrete blocks
in half, the block was pre-made to allow for easy splitting and indeed it
was!

Then after lunch, we cut 1500mm reinforcing bars and bent 4 of them to start
laying them on the end wall, and 2 long 6metres bars horizontally on the
back wall.

We built up the end wall and around the corner on the front wall, to build
up the two layers, so those steel bars can be put on. We did 16 blocks until
we ran out of mortar, by which time it was approaching 5pm. So we stopped
then.

It is looking good with the 3 layers on the end wall and progressing down
the lane!
