We started early this morning to try and do as many concrete blocks on our 3rd tier of the Perimeter Wall before lunchtime and the predicted rain coming this afternoon. But before laying any blocks today, we marked the walls where the 3 doors will go as there are no blocks in rows 3 or 4.

The block laying went quite nicely and we laid 49 blocks with the one mortar load. Therefore if we had the afternoon to do more work ahead of the approaching rain (which would ruin any mortar joints done in the afternoon, not having enough time to set), we would have been on course for a new record of just shy of 100 blocks!!

Maybe, on Monday, we will get another chance at beating our record when we continue to do the 3rd layer and move on to the 4th and final layer, which in total, is about 210 blocks left to complete our Perimeter Wall – about 2 days of work left to do!
