Looks like a really fun project, now I want to build one! What's that structure you're laying the bricks on called?
I don't know all the words in English, as a Frenchman living in Germany :') Apparently it's a "wooden formwork", according to this page: http://mkolar.org/travel/Cechy/new-house/index.html
We were lucky, as our neighbor who is also renovating offered the steps of his old staircase. I modelled the thing in SketchUp to be able to measure all the angles and dimensions. We then made templates out of plywood for the 2 kinds of segments and used a flush router bit to reproduce the shape.
What will be inside? I bet some wine.
Ding Ding Ding! :) Wine racks, shelves with crates for flower bulbs, potatoes and other root vegetables... Which will mean we have to secure the entry, our (lovely) elderly neighbor has already mentioned coming over at night for a drink ^^
But it will probably serve as a tool shed for the coming year until we have the rest of the garden levelled and laid out, it's the first of many projects, we will come back to it for the aesthetics (lime render, floor tiling, door, outside cladding...).
I live in wine making region, so there are loads of these. Usually with house attached to it for wine making equipment.
When I want some wine I just go to the street with cellars, chose open one, ask and get some wine.
If it isn't obvious I work in brewery lol.
