Week 10

Another slow but steady week!


Monday & Tuesday

Rebar & other related materials started coming in:




And more vinyl siding came off:




In this picture, you can see clearly that the porch was built later than the kitchen:




Wednesday

More rebar:



And more stuff everywhere:



They are actually making an effort to put at least some of their trash in the trash cans:



Styrofoam isn't compostable per se, but we appreciate the effort. The rats were having a field day with the half-eaten burritos left by the plumbers.

But how are they heating up those Cup Noodles? Oh, must be this:



Odd week for wanting hot lunch -- we had freakish 90 degree weather for the first half of the week. Poor guys, having to work in that heat!

When they weren't eating hot soup in hot weather, they were putting gravel in the giant pit, smashing it down with a machine, & covering it with yellow plastic:




Thursday

Rebar complete in the main section of the room:



And the forms for the terraced stairs are in progress:



Friday

Rebar now complete in the patio & stairs:



This week, they will complete the forms, get the electrical work done, & then comes the concrete pour. Eventually.

  1. You *know* things are coming together when they stamp down dirt and cover it with yellow plastic. Also: are you *sure* styrofoam isn't compostable? I think I read somewhere that styrofoam is made from potatoes.
