Block Over Rebar Safety + Insurance

Jhonny, a.k.a. El Nica, slotting a block over a piece of steel rebar without wearing a helmet. Looks like a bit of a safety hazard. I asked him if he wanted one and he wasn't sure. I think at bigger construction sites more likely to be visited by Costa Rica's national insurance institute (INS) workers probably wear helmets.

Whatever you think about helmets, his skill at laying this block is still cool!

Finished house design in 3D

We hope the finished house will look something like this 3-D drawing shows.



We worked with an architect who also happened to be the son of the guy in charge of the construction. In the end it was a difficult working relationship we had with him but the fact he was the builder's son made communication between them and the process of transferring plans much easier.
