Building walls brick by brick

Apparently some of you couldn't believe it when Susanne mentioned that the house was being built brick by brick, the traditional way. "Nobody builds houses that way", someone said.

Well, Juantxo does.

For the incredulous, here he is building (brick by brick) the walls of the bedrooms.

The exterior walls were also done this way and, in fact, they're load-bearing walls. That is, they form the structure of the house - together with two wooden pilars -, so they hold the weight of the entire house. There are no reinforced-concrete pilars anywhere in this house.

The other two rooms that you see opposite, whose walls Juantxo has just finished building, are the bathroom (right) and the dressing room (left).
