We set a new record today of putting down 85 concrete blocks in two sessions! This morning, we carried on with the 2nd layer and completed the Great Room, the Kitchen and started on the front extension by 2 blocks, doing 39 blocks all together. The afternoon session saw us completing the circuit, finishing the front section and the back door side of the building. We put down 35 blocks to join up the circle!!

Then we started the 3rd level and managed to do a further 11 blocks before we ran out of mortar. This was a total of 46 blocks for the afternoon!! We probably achieved this higher rate because we reduced the amount of mortar we put down on the layer.

We have a day off tomorrow, but on Saturday, we carry on with the 3rd level, remembering to leave a gap for the doorways (the French doors in the Great Room, The front door and the side door in the Utility Room). Wonder what record we can break then? Grin!
