LA AZOTEA

Early this morning we took delivery of a truckload of rented pallets and timbers that will be used to support and frame the roof as the concrete is poured.  It was stacked in the front room at first.  It is impregnated with used motor oil and does not smell good:


During the day, the workers constructed the framing for the pour using 4x4s and the pallets that used to be stored in the front room:


Anything that needed to be cut and nailed was done by hand.  There has been no use of any power tools during this whole process:


On Monday we'll get another load of rebar to fit on top of the roof framing and then on Tuesday concrete will be poured--mixed by hand and carried to the roof in buckets on the backs of the workers.


Also on Monday we will get to look at various samples of cantera tile for the floor and patio.
