Brick Part 1

 Getting set up was a MUDDY MESS!  But the Masons were troopers. 

Jon Reynolds is doing a great job on our house.

Add in a little snow...Cold, brick laying, awesomeness!

 Brick set up on the front porch.

 Quinn and Adi asked how they get the brick to stick to the house.  I didn't know.  So, I took a picture. Now we can always remember.  They put these in across a whole row every once in a while. They screw right into the house.  Ta Da!

 Because of the frigid temperatures they tent the whole house and run heaters to keep the fresh mortar from 

freezing before it has time to dry a little.  It's kinda cool. 

 I was talking to someone at church to today and she said it's neat because now we are all waiting for the big unveiling of your house.  Ha!

We also had a little excavation work done this week.  

They filled in and compacted around our west side window wells and hooked the water line up to the house.
