Drainage is a big issue for us. We need to protect the foundations of the house from occasional downpours in the rainy season.
We excavated a section around the house and shaped a gulley to carry water away from the house.
Then we placed stones on the other side of the gulley.
The stones have to be kept level in preparation for pouring concrete on top.
The pool is starting to take shape - this is a view from the terrace, so the deep end is in front of the living area. Our workers are doing an amazing job hand digging the pool, and in the process they found a seam of gold coloured clay that we are going to use for the final layer on the adobe floors.
Geronimo puts the final touches to the rim of concrete on the bath pedestal that will join up eventually with the adobe floor.
