8.4.2016

After some morning prep work, we're ready to start doing some brickwork!


We started in the back - not too much to finish back here!  Just the very top row of stubby bricks - although these are a little tricky for Jim to get in.
 



All done!  Just leveling to make sure everything is good!


Starting in the front...


Working down the front...


Last of the mortar takes us up another step!


Jointing the front...


...and the back! 


Cleaning up...


We could only do one batch of mortar today - Jim has an evening ultrasound appointment to see the status of his kidney stone.  So Jim decided to work this afternoon on getting his steel table back together.  Each of these pieces weigh 250 pounds!  Jim basically dragged them off the back of the truck and onto the Bobcat forks.


Then the Bobcat lifted it up to the table.  Jim had to drag the pieces off the forks and onto the table.


Ta da!  This tabletop has lots of countersunk screws all the way around it and down the middle - everything has to fit precisely in order for all the screws to fit in.  Jim just about has it all put together.  He's excited to get his table back - this is a great table for so many of his projects.  The table has some surface rust on it but that will get taken care of.
