January 25, 2024 - Floors and More
Lots of pictures...3 weeks of work included in this update, although half the crew was
sick for two of those weeks
Jan 11: Getting septic pipe channels and placement laid-out
Jan 17: Register formed and pipes attached
Jan 25: Hole being prepared for base and sludge extension cutout
Jan 25: Register capped and a better view of the layout
Jan 11: Bath floor done; the mess is from re-sizing the window
A larger glass block size was planned, but each of the 3 blocks planned cost more
than all the smaller blocks combined AND the labor to change the window - go
figure
Jan 11: Reformed window opening for two rows of smaller blocks
Made the opening height about 10cm higher and 4cm narrower
Jan 25: Glass blocks in place
I actually think it looks better than the single row of larger blocks would have
Jan 17: Rear extension gas lines laid
Cutoff valve on exterior wall for the bathroom tankless water heater
Black gas lines with silver connectors inside on the extension floor
Jan 17: Gas lines easier to see from this view
The greenish pipes to the right of the gas lines are the water lines
Jan 17: Adding hot water to the wash tub
Note: In Mexico they don't normally run hot water to wash tubs, so
I had them run an extension from the clothes washing machine hot water pipe.
Jan 25: Cement floor just finished while I was there
Jan 11: Smoothing out the top of the shelf around the kitchen walls
Jan 11: Prepping the living area for the floor cement
Jan 17: Living area floor cement done
Jan 17: Kitchen area floor cement in-progress
Jan 25: Floor cement complete in the kitchen area
Jan 25: Another kitchen view towards the rear extension
