54 viewsThis 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 metedozer

39 viewsFor 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)dozer

38 viewsThis 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

38 viewsHaving the thicker wall would necessitate using aluminum windows, but these I would now select in all cases, even if I was using the regular cement block. It is becoming the window of choice and with good reason. Easy maintenance, it doesn't degrade due to weather or direct sunlight. It looks modern. The screen used can be slid open. One notable downside is that normally the security metal needs to be mounted on the outside which looks ugly. In any event, this would be my window of choice on subsequent projects.dozer
