2nd floor building starts, cistern, and scratch coat on first floor walls

It's been a while since I posted pics- My dad is back home now in Canada, so we're reliant on our builder to send us pictures. But I got some today.

Second floor front looking southeast

The cistern that will be underneath the front stairwell. Town water will flow (or trickle) in here before being pumped up to the cisterns on the rooftop.

Rear doorway looking in towards living room and kitchen, with hallway to front door in the middle.
