Troupers and Some Mexico House Construction


When you plan to come work with Amor months in advance there really is no point in checking the weather.  Checking shortly before you come, however, is a good idea.  Memorial Day weekend was the first trip to Mexico I have been on that included a nice cold rain and gusty winds.  It is amazing what a fire can do for you even while it is raining.  This group had high spirits as they gathered around the fire to warm up and dry off.  Their clothes where steaming as they dried.



One person in the group was prepared though.  He used to be a boy scout.

  

The group was determined to stick it out.  Good call on their part.  The rain stopped by 9:15am and the sky was clear and sunny by the time afternoon came around.  They were able to build and stand the walls and roof sections over the slab they poured the day before.

Mixing concrete for the the slab.


Building a walls in the street.  It is a small lot.


More wall construction going on on top of the finished slab.


Walls are starting to go up.



Getting the roof sections squared and attached.
