Works proceeding smoothly


My workers have almost finished the brickworks on the 2nd. Floor. They will take another day to complete the brickworks on this floor. I am waiting for the cement boards to arrive before proceeding to start brickworks for the 3rd. Floor. This is because I will be hiring a mobile crane to lift the cement boards to all the floors and at the same time lift the bricks to the 3rd. Floor As the works go higher, transporting materials up will be tougher and takes a longer time. The mobile crane will help to make the works lighter. Another batch of workers have also moved in and they are concentrating on building the RC gutter around the perimeter of 1st. Floor beam. This gutter besides collecting water dripping down from above also act as crawling insect trap. The gutter will be filled with a few inches of water acting like a moat. I intend to put flower pots inside this 2 feet wide gutter and plant climbers which will stick and finally covered the external walls.
