Looking really good John. The mortar has worked very well indeed. Painting individual bricks is a chore, but necessary though. Not done that for many years, but when I did I used watercolour pencils rather than paint because I found it easier to control. Works great if you want to do any decoration in engineering blue bricks.

Wobble,
This as a whole is looking really superb, and is even tempting me to attempt some diorama work, going to get the 10ft x 8ft x 6in foam block out and start practicing, do you think that will be enough or should I order more because of waste... Twinkle toes was on patrol last night walking around and looking to dump the empty cooking oil drum - sneaked out later and put it back outside his door....
email later

Big fan of your architectural projects. Very well done. If it is of any use I have similar sliding doors on my old barn. This is how they work.

When you say 'wall filler' is that stuff like Polyfilla? It looks good. Better than the way I've done it which is dry plaster brushed into the joints and then VMS Ballast Freeze dripped in to set it.

John,
You are a master at the building work.

[Strenko J]

The brickwork is amazing JR…

Greetings an apologies for absence for a couple of days, I shall reply to those good enough to comment later to night.

Bruised ribs were hurting and didn't feel much like looking in or doing a great deal of bench time, its getting better each day .

To day a phone call from my very close and good friend Dude 1 all the way from the Father land started the day off well . Certainly gave me the interest in doing some more, even though the sun was bright and the garden was calling. Still too wet to go stamping about so into the cave I went.

Made up the roof sections, glued in place waiting for tomorrow to start cutting the tiles out.
This is where I'm up to.



Pleased with the finish so far, door were fun to do .

Thanks for looking in.

John.


A good look around the forum later.

Always a pleasure to keep you, "The Bin Diver of Stamford", on your toes, Dude 2!!! Great catchup and good to know you are healing up. You had me worried there Brother. Like I told you, leave that diving sport to the young folks!!!...

Incredible and meticulous work as usual and I know you are in your element. Glad you're driving on with this beauty!!! Love it!!!...

Prost

Fantastic John. Those capping stones in particular are sublime.
