Hi Alessandra and Micro,
The progress on your house looks great! That water tank is amazing. Just one thing, though....why was the cinder block foundation added after the house was on site? I know, I'm just a picky nudge...LOL. Congratulations on a tremendous job and on your perseverance.
Lots of love,
Joy
