Day 2 of the Build

I thought we were going to work on the roof but we were finishing interior walls and gables today. Suny and warm with a good breeze at the iste. Met the homeowner who lives nearby and walks to the site. Her name is Mercedes. She is 27 and she has two girls ages 3 and 8. She worked on the house with us today.

I tried to use a piece of re-bar as a q-tip. Actually I walked into a pice of rebar sticking out of a cement block and knicked my ear. Nothing serious thank goodness.

The cocomut that the mason gave me yesterday is in our mini-bar - not sure what I am going to do with it.

Today we had some cows run through our work site chased by barking street dogs which seem to be everywhere. Roosters started crowing at our hotel around 4 am and don´t seem to stop. somebody needs to get then an alarm clock!

I am told that the roof, windows and doors will be installed by tradesmen so I am not sure what the volunteers will do the rest of the time. That´s ok - we´re having fun and all is well here in El Salvador.
