tired and thirsty

[mellowtigger]

I'm much too young to feel this old.  *laugh*

Today's limit was 150 bricks and 9 bags of sand, all lifted into and then out of the pickup truck bed.  I didn't get all of the bricks laid because I ran into a snag near the end.  The unevenness of the garage wall (and the awful styrofoam outside it) led to a brief space where 2 cinder blocks afford just barely less than the 121 inches that I need for my bricks (without cutting).

Photograph tomorrow, after I've had more time to fix the problem.

I've had my shower to clean up.  Now it's time for another large glass of iced water, then off to bed for some much needed rest.

Yeah, in hindsight, I would start laying bricks along the side that was least easy to change. I think the unevenness of that wall would have been more obvious as I laid the first row of bricks along it. The difference is small but still enough to drop under 121" of clearance.

Still, I've been impressed that there have been so few problems with this exercise. I've never done this before, and it's still working out well. I'm looking forward to seeing it completed.
