Thanksgiving tracks

We had a visitor - evidence

E on top of the world

Tracks - evidence that I was there too

 

Another hot buy - 33 cents in the dollar for 180+ retaining wall blocks, about 30 kg each. E has manhandled 60 of them already, onto the truck and off again by herself

One more pallet for more blocks

 

Hard to get the glue to set in the snow

 

At work after setting some more rebar in place

Finished for the day and off to TG dinner up the hill

Not often seen: the back gate.

A different perspective looking towards the back gate

My present - a stone mill - makes great floue - E got it for less $94 including shipping - it had a crack [not a functional problem] and they dropped the price from retail: at least $600 

 

Block surfing

This and that: gloves and rebar: bread and brioche

brioche oven ready

Swiss mountain bread - rye levain with a mix of baker's and wholewheat flours

yummy wholewheat sourdoughs

easy now to spot the difference

steps for the side porch - ready to go $150 off Criagslist 

The builder at work

The tripping hazards are multiplying as the scaffolding goes up amongst the bracing 

Lying down on the job

Well - looks can be deceptive - doesn't look very restful

Busy hands need good gloves: Elizabeth says thanks you Ella

championship rebar tying

fiddly bits part 2

More spot the difference

before

first attempt at brioche with turbinado sugar on top

Other stuff

sourdough miche - 1.5kg

oops, caught working

Going up

Inside my stone flour mill - the rotating stone - yes it's pink!

Fiddly bits

Spot the difference

Increments

Cleaning up the struts for the cantilevered ledger for the porch slab with the wire brush

More work for the wire brush [well for E] - a cast iron grate for the interior

Detail

The top surface cleaned

Chipping away at excess concrete - another "easy" job

 

Door bucks going up - look below to seethe difference from last week
