| EvenBob Member since: Jul 18, 2010 Threads: 231 Posts: 6361 | Got it! I knew I'd heard the term Bovada before. When I was a real estate person in Calif, we talked about Bovada ceilings in houses. Its a Mexican domed ceiling made of tile or brick. Very common in kitchens and foyer's. Its a style of architecture. Very common in Texas and Az.

But how much does it cost to knock on wood? |

The Wiz has a modern house in Vegas, wouldn't it be ironic if he has a Bovada ceiling in it someplace? One casino owner to another: "It would be so much easier if we could just hit them over the head, steal their money, and throw their bodies in the creek." Al Swearengen, Deadwood |

Actually the ceiling style is bóveda possibly related to volvere (Latin) (“to turn”). It is probably most easily translated as Vault, an English word that is ultimately derived from the same Latin word "volvere". TIPOS DE BÓVEDAS:  En el caso de la bóveda de cañón, ya sea de medio punto o apuntada, ésta puede llevar marcada los arcos formeros, a los que se denomina "arcos fajones". In the case of a barrel vaul, either pointed or semicircular, this it may be marked with the arco-formero, which is called "transverse ribs". arco-formero, or literally "wall arch" is a curved architectural element (arc), which runs parallel to the longitudinal axis.
