Starting the finish work

Texturing the surface. First they put a coat over the foam, then they add a second finish coat.



The wall is getting about 3/8 to 1/2 inch of cement/sand mixture for the texture surface.



In stead of putting boxes in the walls, we're gluing these plates to the blocks... cost cutting measures that you can do here in Mexico. The metal or plastic boxes you see in wood frame construction are not going to help prevent the block wall from burning down... Oh yea, cement doesn't burn.
