Building the House - The Shell

Out of the ground at last!  Now the brick work begins, and progress becomes visible.

The Saturday work day ends at 1:00pm.  Sometimes we have a little tacos and beer party to celebrate the week.  Enrique makes very good meat for the tacos which go well with a cold beer on a hot Saturday afternoon.

The walls have now reached a height where scaffolding is required.
