Our crew

Getting something to eat

Shots of the day

we have to provide our own toilet on the job site I can now add toilet construction to my resume. some general shots of the constructionthat was going on including toilet and Eric and I sitting on our lovely new toilet. we are starting to get our panels cut and hope to be pouring panels and posts tomorrow. it's really sad there must have been 150 people that have asked this for work so far but there's only so much that you can do. Suzanna came out and cooked lunch today that was the most amazing meal that we've had in Africa this far.

Concrete tools

This is all the concrete tools that we have been able to find one steel,one wood float,a plastic darby for stuco and a water lazer. A 2x4 is actually 1and 1 half to 2and 1half by something within a inch of four inches and a16' board weights about 50lbs.the sap just flys when you cut them.

One of those days

This is what 6 Zambian and what one pale guy can do in one day. They want to learn but have never seen any tools at . You think that they understand you untill you turn your back. Heat and humidity were rough today.
