Getting organized for the middle roof pour... This is the street side of the house. The pile of dirt you see will be tamped down for the floor of the winter patio.
This is the Sea side of the house with a load of dirt to be tamped down for the floor of the summer patio.
Foreground: Lorne and Duke the Great Dane.
Background: the crew doing the roof pour.
Hand troweling the concrete, paying special attention to an important castillo to help ensure a consistent height.
He's been hauling cement for hours and still smiling! Must be the coke and chocolate brownies we delivered....
The crew on the scaffolding bringing up the cement in big buckets, handing the buckets up to the man above.
The cement is poured from the buckets into the wheel barrows and then taken to where its needed on the roof. Note Chapi's special white concrete stomping boots.
The cement bucket brigade.
The brigade at work with a side view of the staircase to the roof over the master bedroom.
They use a metal bar to make sure the cement is level and to `float the concrete`.

Leveling.
The garage below and Lorne`s office above. The storage/laundry room is below my office.
Lorne's office and the summer terrace with one of the guys working on the roof.

The cistern will soon be placed in the floor of the garage.
