4: Lintel 'briques' ready for concrete to be poured around reinforcing.
Rolling the glue onto the briques immediately before placing the next one - much quicker than laying concrete blockwork.

Some briques still have to be cut despite the 'prefabrication' .

The final boxes and contents for the temporary electricity supply, on Wednesday morning.

Laying the 9th course Wednesday PM

Friday morning - laying the lintel course. The leaves on the trees have come right out in the last week - compare with photos taken a week ago.
