I finally did it! My last post showed a picture of the footings, and the start of the block walls. I was just experimenting, and didn’t check the picture too closely. It clearly shows the outhouse they built on top of the new septic tank. There is a curtain for a door. Quite ingenious, really. They also built a house to live in out of the roofing and perlings.
The house is moving along quickly now, despite the rain. They are putting the columns in between the sections of block walls. Next they will pour a crown around the top, joining everything together. There are cages of rebar inside all the pourings, and more coming from the footings through every block and poured full.
I will try to post pictures every time now, if I can. It certainly is different from Canada. They don’t seem worried about snow load at all.

here we go again
