walls of Jerico...


Man! Working on the bricks in the back of the building, the bricks just fell out of place. The mortar was just powdery sand. The more I pulled the bricks, the worse it got. I think I'm going to have to replace most of the wall. Lots and lots of work. Had help from Glenn and Kathy. Also had the loan of a boom lift from the Tripletts.

Tomorrow, I'm going to finish demolishion and try to start laying my first layer of new brick. It will be my first major experience laying brick. I've have good advice from Cecil Crutcher who was a bricklayer for more than 50 years. Fingers crossed.
