Brick by brick




Yesterday 2 rounds of thunderstorms wiped out the work day. It was more of a wipe up day.
Temperatures lower today and work resumed. The brickwork on Vinewood rises




I was able to climb out on the scaffolding at the 2nd floor level as Tom showed me the wire "locks" used every 6 rows to attach brick to cinder block!

The carpenters are busy on the roofline and placing aluminum studs for interior walls.

Masons are cleaning up debris on lawn and neatly piling materials for the Fireworks on Friday night.

If you are down for the Parade on the 4th, look up as you pass to see the structure in person.

What stories the house could tell of parades gone by. Many people return to the same location to view the parade each year and we have always been a favorite spot because of our shade.

If you have a parade or fireworks story to tell leave a comment on this blog.
