18 Front Façade - 1. Floor - Opening Old Structure

19.10.2012 : Friday  -  20.12.2012 : Saturday

Further opening up the structure of the bedroom floor on the front side: The floor is lifted off, to expose the construction of the cantilevering balcony (cumba).

On the 1.Floor level, there are two rooms on the front façade side. The bigger one with the lila colored ceiling has an original ceiling pattern. The smaller room with the burgundy colored ceiling is done very poorly and later. We have to take down the separating wall, in order to re-do the structure of the floor and ceiling. It is a very badly constructed wall, and as we opened it up, a closed-up door was revealed: this house has undergone many changes! We are eventually planning on opening up these two rooms to make one large room.

 

Another thing that happened on this Saturday, was the removal of the rubble and garbage by truck. It is surprising how much rubble can come out of a building!
