This shows the rear door being framed. This is a repair job, since on the first attempt anchor nails were not used. This time nails will be placed at 4" intervals to anchor the door in place. (02-Apr-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

Here the roof is partially tiled. The left shot shows the parking lot and patio. The right shot shows the main roof sections. Notice the aluminum drainage sheeting shown in the valley of the right hand picture: it is not really sufficient and will need to be supplemented later. (22-Mar-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

The roof structure is built using heavy guage steel. The bigger pieces are 4 *2 inches and 1.6 mm thick. The smaller pieces are 1 by 1 inch and 1.6 mm thick. The roof tile will lie on the 1 by 1's, so they must be placed at the proper interval. Notice the cross beam supports which sit on top of the foundation posts. (13-Mar-04)dozerSep 28, 2011

The house footing being formed. The footing of this house is about 20 inches tall. Inside the footing there is a metal substructure for strength. Off to the left of this footing you can see the hand tied metal substructure in preparation to pour another footing. To the right you see the form wood which is used to form the concrete pour.

This is one sheet of the original plan which is a pretty good representation of the layout of the house. The overall shape of the house is a rectangle of 9 * 18 meters. It features 2 nice size bedrooms of 5 * 3.5 meters each. There have been some modifications: The patio is larger than shown, being 3.5 * 4 meters. Also the back bedroom was modified to be 3.5 * 5 meters, which enlarged the kitchen to 3 * 3 metedozerSep 28, 2011
