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)dozerSep 28, 2011

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)dozerSep 28, 2011

The repaired roof valley. This was kind of a struggle due to inadequate valley aluminum which was then compensated for by using two pieces which are welded together. In any event the valley now looks good and there is no problem with water leakage. (02-May-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

This shot shows the front facia board which can be made of either wood or synthetic. We are using synthetic version which is formed from cement. Also note the wood framing is being put in place to attach the outdoor roofing material (grc sheeting). (25-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

For each bathroom there are 2 septic tanks, dirty water and solid waste. Standard depth is 4 cement drainage rings, we use 5 which is better. This shot shows the solid waste septic on the left (servicing the small bathroom). The PVC which runs from the toilet is 4" in diameter. (22-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011
