The footings are complete and we are ready to start the walls
We installed the floor now to make is easier to work on top of since the walls will be tall.
The first of two concrete beams that will help support the wall and bridge the windows and doors.
The second concrete beam is being formed that will support the roof joists.
Interesting: These ants must have had a hole below our floor; and when we poured it, they dug a new hole through the soft concrete. We found them about a week later!
Sergio Ruiz started working for us for this project as well. Happy Guy!
Part of the structure will be two large concrete beams to support to roof in the center. To reinforce these we have to make these rebar rings. They will make a cage of rebar that sits inside the beams.
Bonus Photo: A family that lives in one of our ejidos had a baby boy recently. When we asked him what they named him they hadn't yet. So I suggested "David" was a good name...on a couple occasions :-). I discovered a week later that they had decided to go with David! So here is a picture of me and my namesake:
David in Spanish is pronounced "Daveeth".
