Zkribbler's House -- Watch it being built!

If my math is right, a 1 1/2 meter rise over 2 meters in length works out very close to 11-inch steps of 8" in height.

[snoopy369]

I think you've got it spot on

[Lancer]

Thanks guys... So 10 3/4"? When I get to Garcia and my tape I'll figure how many steps in 3m.

Thanks guys... So 10 3/4"? When I get to Garcia and my tape I'll figure how many steps in 3m.

Yeah. 10 3/4.
I'd figure how many steps in 1.5 meters because it's that far it is to each landing.

[Lancer]

Sure, or just figure each landing is a step when calculation height, but not space. But when we do the job that would help.

Just got an e-mail from Theresa saying there's no Internet hookup in Garcia.

While I'm a bit chagrinned by the situation, instinct tells me that hi-speed internet shall arrive there in the near future, and that, right now, there's dial-up internet if we search hard enough for it.

I remember that just a couple of years ago, the only Internet at your place in Jagna was prohibitive expensive. Now, you have a find hook up.

The Internet is spreading like crabgrass. God Bless Gore for having invented it.

Ha! Just a moment ago I asked Dolores to ask Theresa if she knows where there's a Globe office. She checked with Smart which is what we have in Pondol. With Smart its P999/month unlimited. With Globe it used to be a pay as you go situation but that was a while back. So don't give up on high speed yet.

[Lancer]

Joseph said he's gotten locked Globe signal on his laptop in Garcia...or something like that. Theresa says she knows where the Globe office is in Tag. She goes to Tag pretty often for a host of reasons.

If you want it you should email her. It would certainly help us alot to be where we be and get timely pics.

[Zkribbler]

...or something like that

I vote you check with Joseph to see what it was he said.

I'll e-mail Theresa tonight about Globe.

P999/month

For any Polytubbies who are listening in, that's about 22 USD/month.

Zkrib, I got pics of the setting of the 5 ocean side post frames coming. The ocean frames are going to be double thick and comprise two pours and double metal cages. More time consuming but also very strong. Might save your posterior in an earthquake. The question is the 5 road side posts, double thick?

[Lancer]

There's a form for the wide footing of each post. Here Sho sets it being very particular.



Discussing the doubling of the post.

[Lancer]

The guys no longer have to haul tools or that bloody cement mixer from my place. This is first thing this morning.

[Lancer]

Because Tito told Sho that the property drainage pipes that I had ordered run though the wall were not needed and therefor not done I've devised an alternate plan that will drain the near end through this space. I got no words, but I did tell Sho that if he gets conflicting instructions to call me and I'll ask you Zkrib.

At the far end the pipes will go in a bit higher than I wanted.



From the other side.



It dumps out into the gravel at the base of the steps.

[Lancer]

Two steps remain.

[Lancer]

The setting of the far form. I guess this stuff isn't important because Tito was not on site today. Scuse, I'm bugged about the drainage.



Form manufacturing up above.
