Today, under a cloudy sky and swirling winds, we finished off the 3rd tier of concrete blocks, doing 12 corners to complete the loop around the building, each corner having 3 blocks mortared in place.

Then we sliced off 75 mm off of 14 blocks (see image below) using a diamond disc in the angle grinder.

To start the 4th and final layer our perimeter wall will have one of these shortened blocks in the corner with the cut off piece around the corner. We completed 4½ corners, this time each has 2 blocks!

On Monday, we will finish off the remaining 9½ corners and then we can get on with filling in the straights between all the corners!! Phew!
