Storyboard

The diagram of the panels that make up the mezzanine, according to the design by Thermomuro, is shown below:



The total areas are:

Mezzanine Area ($m^2$)
Northwest 52.55
North 26.39
Southeast 52.55
Total 131.50



This means that the productivity is approximately $13.2 m^2$ per day.



The elements of the north module, which only covers half of the surface as the ceiling is elevated over the living-dining room:



The northwest module is:



The southeast module is:

The progress corresponds to the mezzanine of the northwest module, which is completely covered:



The kitchen module is still not covered:



Nor are the bedroom modules covered:



From the mezzanine of the northwest module, you can see what will be the living and dining area:



From the southern end of the mezzanine, you can observe the surface:



And the area where the mezzanine over the kitchen and bedrooms will be located:

The mezzanine is completely installed, and the walls have been protected to avoid rain damage. However, the mezzanine cover is being removed by the wind, causing problems:



Inside, the first module that was roofed already shows the presence of water, despite the windows being partially covered, highlighting the effect of the wind:



In the case of the living-dining area, the large windows and lack of cover expose them to the rain:



In contrast, the master bedroom still does not show significant water penetration:



A thermographic image shows that the walls are properly sealed; however, water is present at the wall-floor and wall-ceiling joints:



Despite the detected problems, there is a positive feeling seeing the shape the house is taking:

Mezzanine mechanics

The mezzanine has both a functional role, offering storage space and a hobby area like an electric train, and a mechanical support role to stabilize the structure. In general, it supports the walls against the force exerted by the roof, which tends to push them outward. In this sense, the mezzanine is tensioned to compensate for this force.



In the central part, where there is no mezzanine, the situation is more complex. In this case, the horizontal bars at the top of the walls must hold the window walls in place. These, in turn, are supported by the weight of the upper exterior walls:



Therefore, it is necessary to support the mezzanine until the roof is installed. It is recommended to place vertical bars in areas near the center of the mezzanine:
