Friday morning I had to pick up our car from the shop. Jean offered to give me a ride but it was such a nice day I decided to cycle.

Plans are in the works to build a pedestrian/bike bridge up above but until then… |

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last worked on the building. The forms slid off pretty easily. The straw seems to be holding the blocks together quite nicely. No cracking! |

The original T-block forms I made have evolved some. They all have full length legs now and I have some specialty forms. From left to right there are: 12X12 Corner form, 12X12 Standard Form, 18X18 Corner Form, 18X12 End cap form (for doors and windows). I also have as 12X12 End cap form. |

These indentations will help meld this layer to the next. It’s kind of like working with inverted legos. |

Wow. Glad the straw seems to be working. Love the Lego idea. I imagine that as you get taller the possibility of "wobble" or getting out of true gets greater.
