lots of rebarThe first picture was of the concrete in the trenches. It surrounds a long cage of rebar. The columns in between the block walls are also full of rebar, and a corona will be poured around the top of all the walls, with everything linked together by rebar. They are using enough rebar for a two story house, so I am hoping nothing shifts.

Just trying to get some pictures on When it works, I will post more. The house is going well.
I got caught speeding yesterday, and expected to pay the usual ten thousand colones bribe. Unfortunately he was honest and showed me a ticket he had written earlier for the same speed. It was twenty thousand. He proceeded to write out the ticket as we talked, he in English, and I in Spanish, and when he gave it to me, it was for a bad light, two thousand colones. What a pleasure after paying or fighting not to pay corrupt officials for two months.
Well, it didn’t work again. Back to Russ.
