Concrete Castle
Thanks, Chip -
This project is going to unwind slowly so I may not have much to talk about for awhile. But, I do have a few questions this morning.
Should a good Maestro be able to take care of all the plumbing and wiring details? Are there plumbing and wiring codes, and final inspections to verify that work is to code? Are there "licensed" plumbers or electricians, or do the Maestros just learn from experience which ones are the best, and use them?
Should a good Maestro also know enough about architecture to be sure the walls of the original home are reinforced properly to handle the load of the new second story, etc.?
And, given that the two floors will be made 100% of concrete, what approaches other than air conditioning have you seen for reducing the heat buildup in block homes? Roof materials should be an important factor, and vent fans?
Que tenga buen dia.
