Roof Structure248 viewsA clear view of the steel roof structure from the inside, after the composite panels are in place.DrDave

Exterior Walls246 viewsThe 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.DrDave

Starting the Roof Panels238 viewsAlthough you can't see it in this picture, we used standard 50x150 composite panels, but had them cut in half (75cm length) to give them a better look (more like the smaller concrete roof tiles). Since the labor contract was fixed-price, our only extra cost in doing this was that we needed twice as many fastener hooks. No extra steel was required.DrDave

Rear View232 viewsRear 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.DrDave

Resized Kitchen Window227 viewsOnce we returned to the site, I noticed that they made the window rough openings lower than I had expected. No problem, except in the kitchen, where there would be a counter and sink under a window. In order to allow enough room for a backsplash over the counter, we decided to make this one window a little smaller by adding 3 rows of brick, and doing the rendering again.DrDave

Interior Walls224 viewsThe interior walls are going up. At the front is the wall separating the living room from the front bedroom, while the wall at the back separates the kitchen from the back bedroom.DrDave
