Got a few new photos from Lynn of the roof going on. Also a photo of a recent visitor she had on her front porch.
These guys are actually pretty common in some parts of Sacbe- very gentle as well. I'm usually kind of freaked out about spiders (childhood trauma) but I like the tarantulas. Seem more like shy furry mammals.
Rafters in and los hiles (sp?) attached above.
Nehemias up top lashing on the grass roof.
A temporary deck is placed under the roof and large bundles of about 50 small tied bundles of the grass are raised with a rope. Generally they're lashed with heavy black nylon fishing line to an hile at the top of each bundle and another about halfway down the bundle.
Here they are lashing down the grass bundles. Nehemias and his friend/co-worker Berjilio I believe.
Our water tank (1000 liter I think will go up top under the grass roof so that we have good pressure. I'll post more as I get them.
