To recap the last blog: I ran out of bricks while I was laying our new brick patio. Jodi successfully negotiated us some free brick from our neighbor's house that is under renovation. I'm getting the brick for free, but I have to dismantle the chimney myself. I've only worked on it for two evenings now. The first evening, I was able to take it down from just below the roof line in the attic to just below the ceiling of the first floor. Last night, I got it taken all the way down to the floor level.
I still have to take it down in the basement, but I think that I'll come back to it at a later date since they're on a break right now on the house project anyway. I have enough brick, at this point, to finish the patio which is super exciting. I'll work on that when I get home this evening before Lyric's soccer practice. There's a small chance that I could actually get all the brick laid tonight.
Saturday is a neighborhood cleanup day where I can throw out some garbage that no one would want. I'm hoping to be all prepared for that so that Saturday morning I can get it all hauled off.
Then, through the weekend, I plan on completing the following tasks:
- Dismantling the old hot-tub-turned-sandbox for disposal
- Cutting up the old fascia boards for disposal
- Filling with sand in between the newly laid brick
- Pouring the concrete for the entrance at the garden door
- Cleaning up the backyard
- Cleaning up the driveway where the brick was stored for years
