25 viewsUpdate 02-Sep-04: Here is the road on a rainy day. Even though the water puddles a bit it is no problem on the areas covered with road stone, since these stones act almost as good as a paved road. The puddles don't get much bigger than this and then the water runs off. (02-Sep-04)dozer

25 viewsThe 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)dozer

25 viewsThe house has 5 variable mounted roof fans and 35 down lights. In this room the down lights are on dimmer switches. All of the down lights as well as all of the electric is 'grounded'. (18-Jun-04)dozer

24 viewsA uninvited guest comes for a visit. This is a 'tocay' lizard of about 12 inches long. They are harmless enough, but during breeding times they make a loud call that sounds like 'tocay' (and thus the name)! (06-Jul-04)dozer

24 viewsUpdate 16-Aug-04: All the finished houses on the right side of the road now have a problem. No only was the road taken down after the houses were built, but slope of the road does not now allow the water to run. (06-26-04)dozer

24 viewsThis is the starting shot, showing the plot leveled. The plot starts before the truck on the left and goes to the corner tree line. By this point the plot has already been leveled with fill dirt. (01-Jan-04)dozer

24 viewsThis 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)dozer

24 viewsThis is a heavy duty (and also just plain heavy!) 75 liter wall mount hot water heater. There are metal brackets on the other side of the wall to add holding support. (04-Jun-04) dozer

24 viewsThe 1600 liter water tank. This tank has an electronic valve which allows the tank to drop to 1/2 full (or are you thinking 'half empty'?) before turning the pump on to refill it. There are two pumps used, one pumps from the tank to the house and one pumps from the well to the tank. (02-Jul-04)dozer
