After four days hard building work.

Since the completion of the new water tank the site has changed remarkably. The men have built up the ground to the required level and have almost finished digging the surrounding foundation trenches. They have relocated an enormous amount of rock and earth in order to reach the level they need; remember they only use picks, shovels, huge sledge hammers and wheelbarrows! The following series of photos give you an idea of what has actually taken place.
We have discovered that the actual building will be on a split level, the large community centre will be in the front and behind that, at a lower level, will be the kitchen, dining, toilets and storage areas.
This first shot was taken on Wednesday 6th August.

This one was taken on Friday 8th August, another sunny morning in Pedregal Alto!

And these last three photos were taken on Sunday 10th August. The third shot shows the two levels as well as the height above the new retaining wall.

The ‘site committee’, which includes Fr. Kevin McDonagh and Marion, seem quite satisfied with what has happened so far!

Someone has to do the hard work while the others watch!
