December 14 & 21, 2023 - Garage Wall, Plumbing
Combined weeks since I didn't take that many pictures either time and I got too lazy to push updates
twice.
Dec 14: Retaining wall; wide angle view
Dec 14: Retaining wall will jog at the big rebar; end of garage wall
Dec 21: Retaining wall along garage wall complete
Water seal complete on other side; so they get to put back some of the excavated
material behind the wall for a natural slope path along the outside of the garage
The rest of the retaining wall to the garage entrance
The big rebar at the corner "jog" of the retaining wall is for the corner of the garage wall
Pipes for tankless water heater #2
Separate tankless heaters; one for bathroom and one for the rest of the house.
Kitchen area plumbing; outside faucet exit at far left
And another view of kitchen area
The same guys that do plumbing also do the electrical; a common thing in Mexico
Bathroom progress, even if it looks ugly
Shower walls
There will be tile on two bathroom walls above the height of the shower stall walls
More plumbing
High: the two pipes for the bathroom tankless heater, Mid: outdoor faucet,
Low: main line into the house pumped in from the lower level cistern
