Internal plastering started

My workers have started plastering the internal wall of the 3rd. Floor and is halfway through. For the external wall, I am leaving the wall bare without any finishes. I intend to plant climbers which will eventually cover up the entire external wall. The climbers will be placed in pots on the 1st. floor gutter which will have about 2 inches of water all the time to 'irrigate' the climbers. So, watch out for this novelty. My workers are supposed to start fixing the cement boards today but was delayed due to some problem with the electric screw driver.

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.
