Day 14: Bills!

Well, it had to happen eventually: not quite a bill, but Ians assessment of the value of the work done so far and the value of the bill that will arrive soon. About 2/5 of the total value, which is more than I was expecting, but if 2/5 of the work is already done we'll be happy I suppose.

Meanwhile, Pete is back with some bricks (he has a wheelbarrow load; D brings in 2, one under each arm). The bricks need to be cut in half, which Pete does with a few strokes of a chisel and a few broken bricks. D and E are interested and make "insect houses" out of the discards. As Pete is starting to mix the cement its time to go to school, to D's disappointment. And when we get back the hole where the roof butted into the house wall which cantilevered out is no more.
