Day 93
For the record I was prepared to post on Saturday, which technically would have been day 93, however, all the brick layers did, or should I say assistant bricklayers did was make a lot of noise, and that's about it... So unless you really wanted to see a void bigger than the Grand Canyon I wasn't going to post any photos...
Therefore today shall be officially known as Day 93, or Ninety-Three if you have an aversion to numerals....
Today was fascinating, to start of with, I had to tell the Brickies not to do their job, which was relatively intimidating, but they understood why, bigger windows are much easier to bring into play when a brick wall isn't holding them in place... Then I received the call from the Dr. to say to go ahead with it, as it would be to much work and to expensive otherwise...
I trekked out towards the elevated brickies who said after being informed...
What the @#$K, it's not #&*ki*^ rocket science, if you want a bigger f!$^*&g window then they'll do it, it can't be done later...
The Dr said the kitchen design failed to allow for such an extravagance, according to the architect, to this the builders response (somewhat paraphrased)...
Stupid kitchens, no-one ever had issues with a BBQ in my day...
Needless to say that was fun... I then retired to the library to read up about SARS in Toronto... Truly fascinating stuff, if you really want to know about it, leave a comment... Upon returning to the house I managed to be acquired by two GCCC representatives, I just wanted to eat but they needed to speak to the son... I don't know why... Had a fantastic conversation using every bit of diplomatic skill I have acquired over the last few years... It may have worked... more later...
I left the house to hit the pub with my supervising professor to the sight of concrete being poured... into retaining walls... which makes me wonder just what it is they are going to retain...
Photo time... (which, unless you start leaving comments, I will be convinced that it is all that you want to see...)
Kitchen Windows... To Small??? Yes... Functional??? I doubt it... Unchangeable??? You bet...
Let me know... Until tomorrow... Peace Beatnik's...

Pre-Pour
Post-Pour...
Not much else happened construction wise, well not much else worth publishing anyway... Although a point of contention was raised in regards to the size of another window on the first floor...
Therefore, I bring you the new poll...
Should this window be made larger? (Personally I feel it should be a door with a small balcony so that someone can enjoy some martini's whilst watching the sun demise for the day!)
Let me know... Until tomorrow... Peace Beatnik's...

Definately need a door there. There is not doubt about that.
The obvious problem here is that regardless of whether you have a window or door, you'll have to look at your neighbours. Although perhaps seeing the demise of something in that general direction will give you a small degree of pleasure.
