Roman Enders

Actual swimming pool, note non face side rear thus 'parged up' due to large joints. If it was a fair face then two single skins on half bricks (half bats).

Note the centre pin with an inverted 'v' cut into the timber. Stacked bricks to keep it level (or perpendicular to the pin).

All blockwork pointed and full joints on the brick work.
Steps built later.

 Note pin and timber

Blockwork gauged so that top course is whole and the cut course is at the bottom. Pointed, re-bars, concreted. Ready for bars to be cut.

 Parged up. Ready for steps to be built.

App 700 bricks, tied into blockwork with 'starter packs'.


Blockwork really hard work, brickwork much more fun.

A prize for who can tell why its called a 'Roman End'
