In the morning we finished off the front 5 corners to complete the set of 14 corners our building has, and this allows us to get a consistent and accurate construction of our Perimeter Wall.

After lunch, we assembled our next template tool to help us apply a uniform parallel strip of mortar on top of the blocks

We then started on the second layer of concrete blocks, using our new tool as shown above, and we did 5 corners before we ran out of time and energy in this very hot day!

We resume on Friday and carry on doing the second and (third and fourth) layers at each of the corners.
