      • Dolores brought me a cupcake and took a pic while I was sweaty from lifting heavy gravel sacks onto the shoulders of the laborers who were busy all this while moving gravel to fill in behind the wall the progress of which can be seen to my right.



        But I'll get to that in a minute. Here are the pro workers raising the far post.

          • I asked these guys to smile and they hammed it up. They would fill the sacks and set them on the wall. Then I would pick the sacks up and set them on the shoulders of the guys carrying.




            At Insik's shovel you can see the marker. I'm on the wall taking the pic.

              • The far post is close to the tree but when it is straightened it will be a bit further. It's hard to tell from the pic but you got a meter now I'd say and more later.



                The near post at height...

                      • Still 2 more steps to pour so the base will be encased in the wall. The extra thick facing w/waver will then be added to the front of the wall.




                        Some perspective for the stair height. Aeson was kind nuf to shoot this.



                        Tomorrow the electric gets installed so I gotta get up early to catch a ride with Sho.

                          I don't think that's necessary, but I bow to your superior judgment on this question.

                          Good handling of the conflicting-orders problem with Tito. BTW: In all previous conflicts, you have been right & he has been mistaken. You seem to have a much better handle on what's going on.

                          • That's a fine-looking wall. I understand the necessity of the concrete facing, but it's almost a shame to cover up that great workmanship.

                            How'd you run the cement mixer without electricity??

                            • Its a diesel powered mixer.

                              On the road side posts how about this... We pour oversized posts with extra rings (the metal pieces that go around the upright metal) but do only a single pour. This will give you some of the earthquake protection without the double pour, double form costs.

                              It is a fine looking wall.

                                Bah, in for a penny; in for a pound. Do the double posts in the normal fashion. --This puppy is never gonna fall down.

                                I was just looking a Tito's drawings that he gave me before I left Jagna. His roof extension and balcony only extend 1 meter, not the 1.5 meter I showed in my hand drawing posted above. (I thought my roof garden looked too big.) Because he engineered the roof supports for 1 meter overhangs and because I don't really need or want the extra half meter, we need to go back to the original one-meter overhang and one-meter balcony.

                                I'll re-do my drawing. And I think I'll send a copy of it, plus Tito's drawings to you via snail mail.
