The Wall: Phase 1 Posts

Hi again everyone.  So in this little photo set, we're laying out three posts which will, ultimately, be the outer support posts for the ROOF which will partially cover parking and will provide cover for both the front courtyard entryway, and the stair down to the bodega (storage) level.  So this is mostly a photo blog and I'll caption each photo with its purpose.  The roof starts at stairway posts to the existing house, and extend out over all of the entryway of the courtyard, and beyond.  It is about 2.7 meters from existing house to the three new posts.  And the roof will be a total of 6 meters long at the top (will be a prow front roof so will be only 5 meters at the gutter lines).  While modest, the roof covering the parking area will be enough to keep doors and rear hatch covered if we back into the space so we have coverage during a driving rain.

All three posts lined up and mostly plumb
