The builder was buying uncompleted houses and recycling the bricks. However they reported he was working with Uncle 'Dark' mum's brother Alexander Mclaren. This period may have been after the bus work and around the time they were married. Dad did have a Union medalion labelled TWU dated 1936 and number 4.
