Bricking it

The wall that broke when ripping out the bathroom door frame was patched up (badly) and gave Jaimin a new respect for brickies. The cement mixer with "next day delivery" that was ordered on Wednesday failed to materialise so the wheelbarrow and spade were employed. Mixing mortar for the first time ever was not very successful but after a morning of effort the walls seems to be repaired.
Jaimin says that using his hands was apparently a lot easier than using a trowel.

Bricked up

In the afternoon Nick arrived and after trying (with moderate success) to work out the existing fall to the septic tank inlet (it's ~1.5m from the kitchen drain) Nick & Jaimin set about digging a trench above the clay pipe. Unfortunately installing the shower at the "right height" will require a new drain pipe... But this is probably the right thing to do in the log term and should also give us some options to separate rain water from grey water. Blisters abound...
