Walls!

One starts to have a sense what the new space will feel like. Here is the outside of the new wall. The exterior is being built with reclaimed brick, so it looks virtually indistinguishable from the old brick.

Here is the inside. Exterior walls are now built, according to code, in two layers, with a brick outer layer, a layer of insulation, and then an inner layer built out of non-brick thingies (blockwork).The vertical beams will be providing structural support around the new side windows.
