Still More Detail...




Top photo shows how we decided to put in the lintel for a door. We left loose half blocks in place when we poured the columns and later removed them and put the 4x4 in. We did have to chisel some out on one side still and then back fill it with mortar mix.
In the second photo you can see where we stopped the stucco and the 'espera' for the iron gate. It's sunk into the poured column behind it. We deliberately left the inside of the wall unfinished for demonstration purposes.
Next you can see the basic roof technique and the finished stucco (still drying). If you're wondering what the two pieces of zinc below the main level of the roof are for, it's just where we decided to store the extra pieces we had :-)
