The medieval castle wall scaling device seems to have found a more civilized application in Mexico. As an alternative, I have seen pour using two ladders, one up and one down, with one worker carrying the bucket all the way. Way to much work. This is what the made to pour our roof.

Outstanding picture. I wonder what people 35 years from now will think when they look at the pictures we are taking today?

Marinero,

I for one am so happy to see someone enjoying so much their construction, embracing the adventure so to speak. Like I always say, if you are going to spend all that money, best be having fun doing it, and if you work with the right people, this can be a blast, a true once in a life time opportunity to create a dream.

When I was building, I loved the roof pours, there is a cooperation and coordination between the guys, every one must hold up their part for it to flow, a rhytem that is created, for me it was always a lot like watching a ballet. Sack for sack, bucket after bucket, the work involved, it always left me in awe.

I do not in anyway miss construction, I am ever so glad to be done and to move on to other things is my life. Still, I do have some fond memories and I wish the same for you and anyone else who chooses to venture.

Saludos, Sara

Thanks for the encouragement. The fun part so far, is no major hiccups. The bad part, is that everyone I know has horror stories of varying levels of grief. It isn't the second shoe dropping I worry about just now, its the first one.
Thanks again.
