Concrete and Screens

Tuesday was another concrete pouring day. In addition

Keith and David worked on putting the screens on Dao’s kitchen. We needed about a

half truck to finish the top and 3.5 trucks to pour the bottom section. It was interesting to watch the driver trying to back the truck up a pretty steep, sandy hill. It was a day of work hard, wait for a truck, work hard, wait for a truck, etc. We finished just as it got dark. Before the last truck, we had an impromptu soccer game. We played barefoot or in socking feet. It was a fun diversion while we were waiting.


Here is a time lapse of the concrete pour on a part of the bottom section.


The finished product.

Aye’s dad lives with Aye and Dao. In this picture, he and Moses are eating lunch with Bennie,

one of their dogs. He did help us a bit moving sand, and he collected all the recyclable trash.
