Contract: Brick up thirteen docking gates and stuco them so they can be painted.

Day One:
My wife and I (Neven had just gotten back from an overseas flight) started
the project and because we did not have the proper tools with us, we got two gates 2/3 done.

Day Two

After tearing down the roll gates, we finished up the first two gates and,

got the third one going.
These are very light bricks and are actually glued together.

Three gates completed.

After completeing the front six gates, we moved to the rear for the last seven gates.
They had already packed the place full with pallets.

We found an open spot (fire escape) and had a row of pallets moved.

After tearing down this "Regal", cant think of what itīs called in English,
we squeezed our way into getting four gates finished.

The last three gates would have to be done from the outside.
We got two done on the sixth saturday (planned was seven), which left us with one gate and all the small cuts left for the last day.

The last saturday.

The temp dropped down to -14°C (7°F)
Knowing it was to cold to brick, we cut the small cuts and waited for the contractor to show up.

After showing him that the water was freezing inside of the warehouse, he agreed that it wasntīsmart to do the last gate, .

but wanting the others finished.

The next above freezing saturday that comes along, we will get the job done.
