Our contractor completed the first milestone on the construction of the courtyard wall. The concrete truck and pumping crew showed up yesterday to pump in the concrete for the footing. The ‘mud’ came the day after the contractor dug the trench with his backhoe and installed the rebar.
The next steps will be delivery of the concrete blocks to the site. The masonry should begin shortly after the blocks get here. The weekend is upon us and we probably won’t see any activity on the courtyard until Monday or possibly after that.

Tomorrow, however, the agent for the security door company will visit to measure the doors and show samples of screens and finishes. We will likely order the doors tomorrow, barring any unforeseen glitches, and make the first security door milestone.
