work in progress

The blockhouse is still as it was - summer visitors, and it's now August, so not a lot gets done. But I have started tiling the silo outside the front door, so here is what progress I've made over three days:







The gap in the tiles is where there was a concrete trapdoor down into the old cistern: that part is now two or three centimeters higher than the surrounding area, so I will have to dissect the tiles to make them sit as flat as possible.

It is possible to lay tiles when it is raining, as it was on Sunday, but it's more difficult. The adhesive doesn't stick to the ground, so when you try to spread it, it slides around in a lump instead. It doesn't wash away though, so the tiles are well stuck down.
