Buildings and cranes

These guys are really big into cranes for all their building. HERE's a crane being used on a 2 story condo... |

| THIS one was used to drop a bobcat 5 stories down a hill to do some excavation. |  |

| As these Florence rooftops demonstrate, all the roofs are done with terra cotta tiles- no exceptions! |  |
 |
At the agrotourismo, they were building a new winery. Kind of interesting- all the walls are built with masonry blocks; then insulated; then a solid brick veneer applied to the outside. |
| The only wood in the structure is used to create the roofspans. |  |
 |
We don't need no wood framing- just form it up and pour it all! Also note the roof boards (or lack thereof). They're actually ceramic bricks laid on the rafters. We saw this in all the regions we visited. |

The shutters at the agrotourismo were great! Heavy duty aluminum and very rigid, positive clasps! |  |
