Day nine

6/2/2015

         I brought my journal to the work site today so I had something to do when there was no work. When we first showed up there were a few boys kicking around a small flat basketball. I had to lug wood around them while they were playing.  Soon after they were done playing two of the boys that were playing were helping us mix concrete with the shovels. They are a lot faster than we are.  

         Soon enough we were ready to pour the concrete for the floor.  The buckets were really heavy to carry. We got into line and took turns carrying the concrete. Wilbert was leveling out the floor while we poured it.

         When we returned, Benito was helping Wilbert on the roof. There weren’t many jobs to do so I stood around handing them wood and nails. Benito asked me to come up and help on the roof. At first I was a little nervous of the height and moving around but I got used to it. I helped him hammer in nails which was a lot of fun.

When we were almost finished we took pictures of everyone in front of the two houses. We got three plaques for the houses we completed.
