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)dozer00000

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)dozer00000

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)dozer00000

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)dozer00000

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)dozer00000

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)dozer00000

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)dozer00000

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)dozer00000
