Home Construction Week 15...
Sept. 11-17, 2006

The two photos above show the progress of the house at the end of the 15th week of construction. One photo is taken from the street above our lot and the other photo is taken from the street below our lot. You can see that the walls for the upper level are about complete. The walls are about done and work on the ceiling/roof should be starting soon.

The photo above shows the north facing side of our home. The lower floor shows one of the guest bedrooms. The upper floor from left to right shows the service room, kitchen and dining room.

The photo above shows the 2 car garage, with a partial view of the entry in the lower right hand corner.

Photo above shows the entry way, with a partial view of the garage on the right hand corner.

A couple of weeks ago I explained how the workers used foam to lighten the weight of the concrete on the ceilings. The photo above shows what the finished result looks like. The white squares are the foam and the grey is the concrete. This photo is taken from the back yard.

The final photo posted above shows the gazebo (asador) that is being constructed. It will be covered with a red tile roof and Sandra and I will use it for outdoor cooking and sitting in the yard enjoying the view. I'm sure we will also have a couple of hammocks to wile away the afternoon.
