Dateline Corozal - Here's the latest on our construction project. This project is moving slowly, but only because Carlos works for us only one day a week. But, even at one day a week, his progress each Friday is quite dramatic, as you can see.
Here, Carlos is applying the forms to pour the wall cap which also makes a bench seating area that will go all the way around the patio area when it's done.

Carlos Adding Forms For The Pour |
The wall is quite substantial. Carlos has done that on purpose, to hold back a relatively large amount of black dirt (topsoil) when the wall is finished; to provide a very comfortable seating area all around the perimeter; and finally, so it stays in place for a long time.

Carlos Finishing The Pour |
Here's the final piece for today. All the concrete is nicely edged and brushed as well. A first rate piece of work.
