Concrete 2

Just an update on the concrete work that is happening on da beach.

The forms are being readied for the column pour.

Wide angle view.

It is heavy work lifting the buckets of concrete up to the top of the forms.

Please take my picture!!

The whole crew in one shot!

The columns minus the forms, now stand alone.

Sharyn's Day Off

On Thursday, I went to Dangriga for a beauty day. Bob and Buddy walked me to the bus and saw me off. I told Bob that it was his responsibility to take pictures of the building that was happening that day.

First off Buddy and Bob head down to the beach. Have they been drinking already?

Nice shot of the site but I am now positive someone started without me.

Here we see the beams are finished and setting.

Looks like these two had a great day!!

Concrete 1

We are ready for the concrete beams to be poured.

Right down the middle of the house and deck.

Looking towards the beach.

Concrete truck shows up and there is a traffic jam on the boards.

Good to the last drop.

Update

Three consecutive days from almost the same angle.

Friday

Saturday

Sunday

Almost ready to pour the beams for the foundation!!!

Trespassers Welcome - Dog Food Is Expensive

There has been a rash of crime around here lately. Petty thievery, shoes stolen off the deck (yes we are watching feet so be careful), but now it is getting a little more serious.

Our door has been jimmied and now an attempted break-in by coming through the windows. Screens are ripped off and tossed and they probably thought they could break the window, unlock it and climb in. But I woke up and did a walk about which probably scared them off.

Be warned, we have a dog now and he doesn't like other people much.
