Our four workers for the second floor spent this week forming the beams or "vigas" and framing them in preparation for pouring more cement and preparing to get the second-floor roof in place. Most of the pictures this week seemed pretty much the same.
On the first floor the crew began to get the cement on the walls to cover the brick. Due to their working on the first floor without any windows, I could only get a few pictures of that progress. A lot was done and we're looking forward to the start of a new week tomorrow!
The first beam begins to take shape!
Tying the wires together. Becky is not supervising;
it only looks that way.
it only looks that way.
Beams are getting framed in towards the end of the week.
The posts will hold the beams up as the cement dries. That takes about 15 days before they can be removed.
As you can tell, "Safety first!" is not the motto here in Peru!
This was the front of the church at the beginning of the week.
