Construction; Progress Report 5

This week the last few rows of block that form the walls were placed, and the columns that hold up the roof on this end were poured.

The view from the front corner shows that the building is now ready for the roof … the wood for the triangular roof supports has been purchased and is on site, and that work will be done this week . The iron bars to cover the windows (“balcones” they call them here) have been ordered.

Here is the view from the back corner showing the kitchen on this end … the section that is outside will contain the pila (a large cement sink/water storage) and preparation area … and the appliances, and more prep area will be located just inside. The other 2/3 of the inside will be for work, sales and storage area, as well as for restaurant area during inclement weather.
