Day 2 - The House Begins



The day started out as we filtered out the sand for the Honduran mortar. The is the first step in a pretty lengthy process.




Our next step was to bless the first block as we started to work on the house. It was a very moving moment as the mother of the house we are building said the prayer.




Chase wields the block cutter in an expert fashion.






Sterling holds court towards the end of the day as the progress on the house is shown.

    Glad y'all are getting so much work done without my strength and construction abilities. I know it's hard.

  8. Great Job! Edna is a wonderful woman -- what a smile! Sterling -- maybe you should consider team uno next year.....just saying. Hey Chase, if you need to look for the masks Steve left down there --- block dust + dung dust is not a good combination! You guys keep up the good work -- Rookie rule for team 2.
