We are now starting week 3 of construction. Things continue to progress more or less smoothly. A few modifications were made last week and things look good this week. Willie and Don are still around helping us out.
The main bedroom.
This will be the kitchen and storage area. There is more space to the left of this picture that will be part of the kitchen.
Looking out the front door.
This is the second bedroom. All that block is brought up by hand on the ladder like the next picture.
There are no stairs yet so all supplies need to be carried up this ladder. This is a 100 lb. bag of dry cement mix.
The bag broke on Rodolfo.
Don is busy getting the wood ready to pour cement again.
After so many feet, this rebar and cement is put in to make it stronger. The wood is attached to the wall and used as a mold for pouring cement.
This will be the living room area. Willie is on the left working with Sesbin, who is here from the Rehab Center in Nicaragua.
This is cement already mixed. They mix it by hand up on top of the house.
This sand is also used to mix cement. This is all brought in buckets up the ladder like the cement bags were.
So it continues. Willie and Don will be leaving on Thursday and we will all miss them! Next Tuesday a group of three ladies is coming to bless our kids. We look forward to having them here with us.
