Next layer of beams

The ready floor on the left side of the house will be 1.2 m from the ground, so we need a second layer of beams. There will be a brick layer and then beams connected to the pillars.
Many pictures below

 Bricks and start with the rebars on level 2


This house will not fall apart so easily. Quite thick rebars.

In some places they are using the small red bricks. They are better if you need to attach anything heavy to the wall.






Wrapping the pillars with plastic so it burns slower and keep the moist.

First high forms is are mounted.




They need to be sure the forms doesn't break then heavy concrete is poured into the forms in a couple of days


More distances to keep the rebars from the form. They need a lot. 

It's not only men that have muscles, this lady bends most of the rebars.

Community water

Perfect timing. The community have started to dig and mount water pipes right outside my fence, so I will get water from both the well and the community = no future water problems!

Many bars
