Corbels, paripits and canales

Ivy plumbs the post that will be between the dining room and living room. The decorative pieces that support the beam are called corbels.

Ivan and I start building the paripits (false walls) above the garage. The paripits will give the garage the appearance of being the same elevation all around.

I set the canale which is a copper lined decorative spout for water.

Pay attention to these Southwestern building terms there will be a quiz at the end of the term.
