The skies always appear to be grey & full of rain...
meanwhile, the Work-guys are moving a pace with the cordolo. The wood pieces you see are the forming troughs for the cement & iron rod structure of the cordolo.
Here you can see the iron cage of the cordolo, which will be enclosed with another piece of wood before pouring the cement. The iron is soldered to make a sort of chain link... like the band of a hat... all the way around the various parts of the roof. Then, additional cross beams are placed on top of the restored tree trunks, which will already be in place within short iron troughs connected to the cordolo, followed by a sandwich of an under-roofing of wood panels with an isolation filling in between. Finally, an additional rain-proofing is put on... in day-glo yellow... before the ultimate touch of the terra-cotta roofing tiles. I am out of breath! Could it be all the excitement? Gads.
