February 9th
Construction

The floor was poured and finished today which included running a water line and piping for two drains. Javiel and Jose (Randy's brother) helped us mix and wheelbarrow the concrete. In the afternoon, we prepped for Tuesday while Fred diligently worked on finishing a very sandy concrete. We hope to lay block for both a partition wall and the triangular part of the gable wall tommorow.

A beautiful clear morning was followed by a passing shower, and cool nights in the lower 60's.
It was very exciting yesterday to see our completed classroom building - WOW see it below!

What an artist! So glad Fred is around to "smooth out" everything. It's exciting to see all of you in our Dominican home. Blessings on the week.
