This morning I managed to lay the bricks for one of the foundation pillars for the rainwater barrels, but as I put the last brick in place the heavens opened. It rained hard for the rest of the day. The gutters are still doing their task, it’s just unfortunate that the rainwater barrels aren’t connected up yet. I suspect as soon as they’re in place and connected, we won’t have any more rain for months.
So moving the centre of operations indoors, I removed the remaining loose wall plaster in the pantry. It’s now ready for re-plastering.
