Hope that everyone had a wonderful and safe July 4th weekend! We celebrated by doing two more batches of mortar!
Jim cut some bricks to get ready for the first batch...
Mortar's ready!
Since Jim got the guide board on the other garage door opening, he was able to continue the bottom course on the front...
Working up higher requires Jim to use some inventive platforms!
Working down the side...
Jointing the front...
...and the side.
End of the first batch picture!
After cleaning up from the first batch and eating lunch, time to get ready for the next batch. Doing more marking in the back...
Jim had just started to mix this batch when we had another visitor - the guy who bought the steel decking pieces was driving by on his motorcycle and decided to stop. He only stayed a few minutes since Jim had to finish the mortar.
Doing another row on the front...
Then working on building up the back corner...
...and down the side.
All done with this batch - jointing time.
End-of-the-day picture...lots of good progress!
Clean up time...
After everything was cleaned up for the day, we went into Lowe's to buy more mortar mix as well as some Portland cement to fill the cores of our knee wall.
