Window-2

Windows - Part 2 and 14 September 02 Update


	After laying out the curve for the living room window, Coco bends and hammers the top plate to fit the curve and then attaches it to the base unit. Now all the windows and door frames have been completed and installed in the south house 1st floor which is Coco's house. The stucco is done on this house except for this wall with the curved windows. Before the stucco is applied, the ears of the windows will be set in concrete and the curve will be smoothed out. This should be done next week.



	Now Coco turns to building the iron work for the front wall -- the garage door, a 'window' and the people door. Here he is working on the 'window.' We put the flag on the house in honor of Mexican Independence Day, 16 September.
