Construction Update

Sorry about the lack of pics lately but the internet has been out again. We have attempted to get our own internet but like everything else, it's not working. Haha oh the life. Anyway we have been busy with the construction and i don't mean to complain about the heat seeing as most of you are having to deal with -20 and snow but man is it hot shoveling dirt with the sun beating down on you. It also doesn't help when as soon as you do something someone says they measured wrong and you have to redo it again and again. It is pretty amusing when a Haitian walks by and sees a bunch of white girls digging a ditch. I think they find it amusing to because they usually have a pretty big grin on their face. little do they know, we get paid less then them. Hehe.

We went to the site today and shoveled for about 2 hours but it turned out to be one of those days where there is not much to do and people were being sent home. Seeing as my day is now empty i thought i would do a little updating on the blog. Better get it done before the internet conks out.

It's not all hard work around here. It does get interrupted by a beach day every now and then.

Digging through a pail of rusty nails to find any straight, usable ones. There's no job to big or to small.

Haha. removing fence posts cause someone measured wrong, again.

Taking apart an old fence and striping the wire and cutting it to secure the new fence. Nothing wasted here.

I spent a morning putting rocks under that rebar to keep it off the ground. This is the base for the fence. Yup, a hole lot of fence work going on here.

Pouring concrete for the entrance to the hall.
