House work V

Well I finally got back to the front walk this morning. However, in no time my hand was blustered again and I had to stop. Nevertheless I'm now finished chipping off all the old mortar from the existing bricks. Next I have to cut bricks to fit the open spaces - like a jig saw puzzle because of the herringbone pattern. Then the big step of mixing the mortar and laying them. Well one step at a time...

Do you wear protective gloves?

Nope, no gloves, IMHO they get in the way. I used a regular hammer and an old screwdriver to chip away the surface of each brick.
