I will, we had lots of rain this week and that slowed the progress, much to my dismay!
Clinton Anderson has been working with brick for 52 years and is a very interesting gentleman.
Now that I look at the actual footprint I'm sure I've made a huge mistake in going too small..especially
with all the huge Hawaiian plants I'm drawn to!

There was a little progress on the greenhouse knee wall this weekend..

Mr Anderson has finished the cinder block part and is now working on the brick outer part. I didn't know
that the outside brick is not supposed to be flush with the cinder block...he leaves a half inch gap so there
is airflow, which keeps the bricks from sweating and growing mold...Who Knew?!
