Real progress yesterday with the first bricks being laid, we're now up to damp proof course level and everythings looking on target.
The bricklayer is putting a double damp proof course in, one at the same level as the house and one a course higher. Although this seems excessive our garden does gently slope upwards from the house so it will give us extra damp protection.
Having looked at the plans for the dwarf wall. the bricklayer would like to make a slight adjustment to the position of the door. It appears that when people prepare plans they don't consider the brickie and with the current planned position of the conservatory door that side wall would contain a lot of thirds of bricks which isn't ideal. A slight movement of the door of 50mm to one side will mean that the wall contains only full and half bricks.
