Rear ViewRear of the house. The door leads into the kitchen. There's a 1.5 meter patio outside the kitchen, and eventually, we'll install a 1,000L water tank and pump between the door and the bedroom window to the right.DrDaveApr 28, 2009

SuperstructureView of the entire house, from the front. At the front is the covered porch - 2 meters deep by 8 meters wide. You can't see it in this picture, but there's a separate roof over this area, dropped down and recessed into the main roof by about 50cm.DrDaveApr 28, 2009

Day #15 - Roof StructureApparently, the family forgot to take pictures the previous week, so now we jump ahead to all of the columns having been poured, and the majority of the steel roof structure fabricated, painted and put in place.DrDaveApr 28, 2009

Exterior WallsThe exterior walls are going up. I would have preferred to use larger block, or maybe even QCON block, but my wife insisted on using red brick. Incidentally, we found that not all local red brick was the same size.DrDaveApr 28, 2009
