Beams, anchors and frames

 This was what the casa looked like on Dec 12.  Internet is so slow I haven't been able to post.

The frame of the gates got painted.          The front gate door getting a stain.

  The delivery of the cement beams to do the bovda ceiling.

The maestro wasn't expecting the delivery, so called on family and friends to come help unload this heavy load.

 

All stacked and ready for when the ceiling gets started.      The beams have rebar

The top of the walls are being rounded.  The forms are held in place with bent rebar.

The dalas are formed with boards that are tied with wire.  When the cement has hardened they cut the wires and save them to recycle.

The dalas are supported by tree limbs where openings for doors and windows are.

The front of the house is getting fake columns.   Using a sona tube that has been cut in half and then anchored to the castello they pour cement to fill both at the same time. 

Compacting the dirt on the floor so that it's nice and even and can put rebar and cement down.
