Building the House - The Shell
Part 3  - Header Beams

The header beams are almost done. Next will come another 18" of bricks and then the second floor slab.

It took three tries to place the header beam rebar frame on the living room east wall where there are the three curved windows overlooking the patio.  Come back next week to see how the curves are formed.

This is an elevation drawing of the living room/kitchen part of the north house as viewed from the patio.  The dimensions are in centimeters.
