Friday and its a heatwave!

Here you see by Friday morning Bob had laid  one layer of breeze blocks outling the path of the back wall . Once this has been in place for a few days we will filll in behind the wall - it all has to be done at the right spped - a rushed job is a bad job!

Well today saw the arrival of the bricks
These are Surrey Red Multi from Ibstock  bob  ordered 2000 in all
and these have an F2 Classification for Durability

(Unlike BS 3921, where durability designation incorporated both frost resistance and

soluble salts content, BS EN 771-1 states that freeze-thaw resistance and active
soluble salts content are separately categorized.
FREEZE/THAW RESISTANCE
This must be declared by the manufacturer with reference to suitability under passive,moderate or severe exposure to saturation and freezing.F0 Passive Exposure
F1 Moderate Exposure

F2 Severe Exposure

F2 is deemed frost resistant in all normal building situations when used in accordance with the appropriate Codes of Practice. )

So to sum up these bricks while quite decorative are more like engineering bricks with a high frost resistance
Here you see the start of the brickwork being laid in a corner with the Breeze block acting as the inner wall.
This wall is destined to grow a lot next week.
