10th level



Now that i have done the 9th level and put in the reo i have finished the 10th level which will basically be the surround for the top concrete slab, what i didn't photograph here,sorry, was that i put mortar along the inside bricksso that when i place the corrogated iron down the mortar will fill all the gaps making the back area vermin proof.

the next posts will further explain this.

This level is also the one that i use the lintels on to create the bridge of bricks for the underneath wood storage area and the "ash drop".

I found that the bricks didn't like th elintel, i think becuase IF i was to do another level of bricks it would be all ok BUT as i am using this 1 level of bricks as the "level" to lay the top slab at this stage i can't do the next layer of bricks until the slab is laid.

What i learnt from this is that I started at the back of the structure and ahd it all level but thenonce i got to the lintels it through it all out !!!!, if i was to do it again i would START at the lintel and lay bricks on that and then level the layer from that height.
