Third floor pour complete, layout begins

So we're back in Canada now, so the pictures will be coming a little more slowly. There's about 3 weeks of work left for the team in Lo D to do in order to get the structure buttoned up before the rainy season starts. This includes finishing the third floor pour, building the bathroom and utility room on the third floor, getting the waterproof membrane down on that floor, and doing the final slope pour.

the larger room on the left is the utility room, while the smaller room where Tacho is laying brick is the bathroom. Keen observers following the build will notice that the wall makes a slight jog between the two. This wall move was necessary in order to get the boveda ceiling beams on the second floor in just the right place. You really have to think in 3 dimensions when working with exceptionally heavy materials.

Entrance door to the third floor washroom. This was originally a smaller bathroom, but we elected to make it the same size as the other bathrooms because it simplified some of the structural requirements. Bigger for the same price? Might as well.

Doorway entrance to the laundry room/utility room/storage area. We moved this door in order to maximize the storage capability of the room.
