A New Casa In 2017 - Quick Photo Update

This photo was taken today, June 25th 2017.  It clearly shows the extra height that was added to the base of the structure that was mentioned in a previous post.  The first level, the apartment, is roughed in and the entrance level where the kid's rooms will be is in progress.  By the end of the week this level will be getting ready for a ceiling and preparations for the main living level can begin.

I hope to be meeting with our builder in the next day or so to question a few things and possibly add some windows to allow more air and light into these levels.  This most recent level has been painfully slow since each time I go by I can always see them hoisting up blocks and buckets of cement using the pulley system that they have rigged up.  You can see the yellow rope dangling from the front of the house to the right.  Once this next level is complete they will start to excavate the hillside again to allow construction of our family living level.  I just hope the rain is light for the next few weeks.
