End of the rainy season on its way now. Still several times lots of rain but the weather is getting better slowly. The temperatures are much more nice to work.
Last period we made the slope in the u-ditches of the second pyramid. Preparing to make the mortar in our machine, we discovered the rain caused hundreds of ants finding a dry place in the electric engine of the mixer. So... it did not function anymore. It took around one and a half hour to clean and fix the machine again. Just in time to finish the work. The next day, just after enough basic strength of the mortar we poured, rain again. Great for the cement to harden.
We decided to concentrate on finishing guest pyramid 1 now first. So we finished the outside last layers of brick gluing and started, after putting a layer of primer to dry, tiling. This afternoon we finished wall and floor tiling, hoping the slopes we made are right. Just waiting now for about two days to fill the joints.
