Gremlins for sure.
I suspect that when you "quoted" my post, the attachment somehow got removed. Though the s/w is not designed to function that way. But, there are those bugs whom we lovingly call Gremlins.

Well, I don't know what happened.
It could be that I thought I had added the picture while I hadn't. That's the easiest explanation. The other possibility is that you erased it accidently when you quoted me. As a Moderator you could do that, but there is no trace of that in the Moderation Log, so I would bet that I forgot to add the picture.

No, I didn't erase it.  All I did was highlight the text I wanted to quote and the box came up "Quote highlighted text" and that is what I clicked on. I've done that many times and never has it erased anything. I think it is just one of the bugs/gremlins you speak of that lurk around.

The gabled walls are almost done and we should be starting the roof work in a day or two.

It is looking good SKB. We no longer use bricks for buildings here because of earthquakes and they don't hold up well.  We do use cement blocks that have holes in them and put cement and steel rebar inserted in them for strength.  Apparently that is not a problem where you are.

Well, I was a part of the group that set up the first hollow block manufacturing unit in India. This was way back in 1985. We did make a few sample buildings for the defence sector but somehow the reinforced hollow block did not click in India. Solid blocks are still made by that company though. In India the urban trend is to go higher and for that we are constructing largely concrete structures with minimum walls out of bricks or blocks. This area is very rural and the materials available are few and of pretty poor quality. In fact a tiger made it's way out of the reserve the day before yesterday, barely 200 meters away from our property. It roamed around in the wilderness for a sometime and then made it's way back.

By the way, I put in the lintel tie beam to help with the earthquake if ever. They are rare but they do happen.

Just an update. One picture is of the roof framework getting completed with the purlins being fixed. The second one is the arched window. Some material is still stuck to the concrete and will need to be cleaned up before plaster.

I wish it could be in the cards, but most likely not. But thanks for the offer!  Then...one never knows, it was purely by accident I found out about the first trip I took there...
