The beginning of the week started with all the cement foundations in place
The brick delivery truck for 15 homes is massive
Here I'm helping Sara make sure her cement is protected from the daily afternoon rains
Sara's son caught a photo of me just after I sunk my entire boot in fresh cement
Walls in process!

One of my walls! At this point I have finally learned to get them bricks straight!
Week 12-- almost done with the walls!
