This Weeks Progress

taking sand to be mixed into cement

 This past week saw them finishing up the pillars for the first floor. Some days they took the materials to the site in wheelbarrows balancing on the joists they put in, other days they used the cement mixer and pushed the finished cement over to the right spot in the wheelbarrows. Either way, it looked like hard work, imagine pushing a wheelbarrow on that narrow cement strip, full of sand, stones, or cement. They also prepared the stairs on the far end for pouring cement, and then poured the cement for the stairs.
