some progress

It is not completely straight, but it will do and once the plaster is on it, no one will see it is a bit crooked. I quite enjoyed the mixing of the cement by hand and then working on a few layers every day, cutting a few of the stones and drilling a few metal bits into the wall to anchor it. It was fun seeing it grow bit  by bit.

Now that this is done, I am looking for the next challenge.. In the meantime I am spending some time down in the garden, cutting grass and planting some of the veggies that have already stuck up their heads in the 'kindergarten'. Quite slow those little ones. I walk down about three times a day to check if it has grown, but progress is not the same as with the bricklaying.

The weather is a little moody, normally it should be already much warmer than the 20 degrees we keep having, and it should not be quite as cloudy, but maybe climate change is also changing the summers here?

Tonight I am expecting the guy who is going to plaster three rooms this August, and maybe maybe even doing the floors once we have laid the heating and insulation.
