Day 85 - Brick and Insulation

On a rainy evening, we went to the house to see how far along they got on the brick in one day. They actually didn't get quite as far as we thought they would have in one day but they might have had to stop for rain. The brick we chose is a tumbled brick and they recommended using the grapevine mortar joint. We also chose a dyed mortar.

They also started doing the insulation today. There is some batt insulation in the attic and they put up some kind of backing where they will blow in insulation between the wall cavity and the backing. Here are the photos...
