Day 4

Well we had another wonderful day today. We started laying blocks for the walls and continued work on the roof. Today Arnoldo, Earling, Oscar, and Anna Maria came to the work site to help us with this house. It was great to see them again.

Wes and Philip are adding nails to the posts that will be apart of the walls, to give the cement something to hold on to and keep the wall from falling over.

Brandon and Denise are cleaning one of the footings before the first row of blocks is laid. That way there is good adhesion to the footing.

Glenda got united with Oscar. We met Oscar last year when we were building a house for him.

Denise and Earling are adding mortar between the blocks on a row. We also met Earling last year at the house we were building for him.

Johnny and Carrie are hard at work, laying a row of blocks.

At the end of today, we have three sections of wall in progress. and the roof is ready for adding tin.

Fernando did a great job finishing the house. We have not been able to complete a house yet, but we know it will be finished even if we are not here.

Hasta mañana.
