I was out of town for a week, so no blow-by-blows, but the inner walls have all risen another 4-6 courses and are all at least to the 26th course (of 36). As you can see from this photo, the outer walls now have to play catch-up, which is what will probably happen this week.



Progress on the outer walls is always slower because they have to be grouted (filled) with cement every 3-4 course, and because two of every three blocks must be threaded with #5 rebar, a tough stretch when the blocks weigh 40+ lbs and the top of the rebar is 5' above where the block is going to be placed.

More photos in my latest blog posting.

Enjoy!
