Well here we are moving cinder-block from one location to another. This happened almost every day and was really hard work. We all appear to be really happy about the fact we are loading block after block but we are only smiling for the camera, and apparently Kil'ee found the energy to pose.
Here we are filling the cracks between the blocks with concrete. We actually became decent at this task, though I wouldn't recommend hiring us. We eventually ended up walking along the beams about 5 feet off the ground doing this and although I am a big chicken, I pulled my self together on the unstable beams and helped get the job done.
We actually had to mix the cement and concrete. First we would shovel the amount of wheelburrows full of dirt or rocks needed, and then we would add the cement bags. Mixing it all together was by far the hardest and most exhausting job we did. The second to last day we mixed 14 wheelburrows full of dirt with 7 wheelburrows full of rock and 8 bags of concrete at once. It was painfully exhausting.
This is me mixing cement.
This is a lovely picture of Ki and I carrying buckets of concrete to pour on the ground making the floor for the home. If you can't tell, we are covered in it and quite disgusting. I had bruises on my arm and leg from holding, lifting and carrying the buckets.
