Foundation being formed
Off to buy a truck load of pebbles for the foundation.
Â
Pebbles are hand shoveled onto the truck. No bobcat to scoop them up and load them.
Most everything is done by hand.
Two different sizes pebbles were purchased.
2 truck loads of larger pebbles — $230
1 truck load of smaller pebbles — $414

First piece of hand machinery I have seen. The machine is compressing the foundation land.
A tank of water was brought for making cement.
12 liters of water — $110
100 bags of cement — $551
Emanuel is keeping meticulous records.
And I double check it on my excel program 🙂
Pebbles arrive and are added to the foundation
No photos today, but I was told pebbles arrived and were added to the foundation. Â Emmanuel reflected on the progress and wrote this Facebook message.
Ground is broken!
Wednesday, September 13th, the land is officially cleared, and ready for construction. Â Ground is broken for the school!!!
