We started off by hanging a chevron (or rather two chevrons fastened together to make one long one) off the wall of the house. And that would have been so much easier if the holes for the anchor bolts hadn't been drilled so deep that I needed to hunt down my lengths of stud iron. And it would also have been easier if we hadn't have got the SDS drill bit stuck in the wall!
But once we had organised that we finished building up the wall we started yesterday and then made a start on the two others. We need to keep these two level with each other so that we can cover them up with the roofing sheets at night.
Terry was doing the bricklaying, Simon was cutting and I was labouring. And it's hard work mixing load after load after load of lime cement and then in my spare time bagging sand (we had to go down to the quarry with the Sankey trailer to buy another load). So much so that when I got back here I crashed out for a bit.
But now it's absolutely p155ing down outside. I don't fancy the idea of mixing cement with an electric cement mixer in the pouring rain. Shocking, what?

About as shocking as me mowing with an electric mower in the rain.
