When we arrived at the site the foundation had been laid and
blocks were up to the ground level. The dirt from the foundation had
been trucked away. |
 |
The first day some of us moved dirt while others
mixed concrete and began to lay block as directed by our work boss, Cliff.
The Dominicans had hired a man to lay block but he was not available the
first day to direct us. |
 |
 |
 |
We managed to lay one row with the help of some other
Dominicans but after that we left the block laying to the hired help and
we stuck to the dirt and pillars. |
 |
It didn't take too long to get all of the dirt that was
available into the foundation. As we did this others of us poured
concrete down the supporting beams. |
 |
See the holes the girls are standing in? They won't be
there too many more days! |
 |
Just when we were feeling like we accomplished something
three loads of dirt showed up. |
 |
These were followed by three more loads! By the end of
our time we estimated that we moved approximately 90 tons of dirt! |
 |
After days of toil side by side with especially the youth
group of the church, we got the foundation filled in and the all of the
supporting beams completed. |
 |
This was how it looked the day we left! Praise the
Lord! |
