This shot shows how the kitchen cabinets were formed. First off the counter is poured cement with a wire mesh cross support. This cross support is anchored in the wall. Then bricks are laid and finally the doors are placed. The doors are anchored into place with nails affixed to the side of the frame. (14-May-04)dozer

This shot shows a piece of tile being laid in. A straight line is used as a guide. Also the line is used to evaluate the level of the tile (so that any unevenness in the floor is taken care of). (14-May-04)dozer

The floor tiling is complete. Now the only thing left to do is do a 10 centimeter tile border around the entire floor. (30-May-04)dozer

This is a heavy duty (and also just plain heavy!) 75 liter wall mount hot water heater. There are metal brackets on the other side of the wall to add holding support. (04-Jun-04) dozer

On the left you can see the hot and cold water PVC pipes running the length of the back wall. The copper hot water pipe is housed in PVC for durability. The pipes will run under the back walkway, which is being poured in this picture. The back walkway is more than 1 meter wide, and will slant off to the right into a drainage canal to aid in water runoff. (07-Jun-04)dozer

This is the poured base for the small bathroom shower enclosure. Unfortunately it isn't supposed to be 'raised' like this so this was later leveled and done a second time. (15-Jun-04)dozer

The house has 5 variable mounted roof fans and 35 down lights. In this room the down lights are on dimmer switches. All of the down lights as well as all of the electric is 'grounded'. (18-Jun-04)dozer
