I have some news…wait for it… I am staying until November 14^th, my permit runs out on the 19^th so that leaves me 5 days. The project has taken much longer than planned and I’m sure no one is surprised. The bricks are just not the amazing invention we thought/told they would be. The brick as a design is great but the method is not so great. The machine wears and tears easily if you don’t do the process exactly perfect the bricks don’t come out right and don’t fill properly and so they don’t just click. The manual says that any unskilled person can do this and that is just not true. We’re using seasoned, experienced construction workers and they’re have a tough time and it’s taking much longer then expected. What was meant to take 6 months, we’re now looking at a year. The contractor wants to change materials to a CMU (concrete masonry unit). The septic tank is made using the CMU’s and 1 worker is working at the same place as 3 using our bricks. So we’re going to cost out a new plan if built the library using some of our bricks and some CMU’s.
