Today was a nice day and the masons, Barthé et Michel finished pouring the concrete slab above the rainwater cistern (which will be the garage’s floor) and on top of the cellar N°1. You will see on the picture that they have planted some rebar pieces along the right side of the garage and in continuation of the garage’s right side corner. This will anchor and connect the small stone wall that they will build all around the garage and on top of which the carpenter will bolt the garage’s wooden structure.

The masons have also started to prepare for the scaffolding around the dining room walls as they will start building the stone walls again on Monday. My dad and I covered the beams with plastic and built a walkway with planks on top of the beams for the masons to be able to work on the second floor stone walls.

We almost forgot to place a plastic pipe to keep a hole on the garage slab that will be for the cistern’s intake. You can see it on the right of the cistern trap door. This is where the rain water that we will collect from the roof will enter the cistern.

I climbed one of the huge trees at the bottom of our property to take the pictures of the North West façades.
