Platea / Foundation Work is moving along - pictures and videos

Its November 7th, the rebar work for the platea started about 3 weeks ago, and it is ahead of schedule. 


Most of the structural rebar is in place, and over 90 of the 12' columns. Much work remains, specifically setting the"bastones" - these are the pieces of rebar that will project up into all of the walls to anchor them to the platea slab. They need to be located very accurately.


First - a quick video showing 
what the site looks like today:



Second - a video showing details
 of the rebar construction:



Finally -The picture below was taken
in between the two layers of rebar




   The rebar work should be completed by the end of November, and we hope to schedule the concrete work for early December!
   Once the concrete is in place, a "normal" building process will begin with concrete block being laid to define all of the walls and then plumbing and other under-floor pipes being installed.


Thanks for your prayers and support!
