Saturday is church day for much of the evangelical hillside barrios. So nothing happened yesterday and today the contractor’s latrine pit expert didn’t show up. So the family was there with a skilled friend making a little progress on the wood walls. I didn’t do any work, but got talk with the family about some of the options we can pursue after the basic house scope is completed. Tomorrow should be much more productive, but we probably won’t be done with the basic stuff until Wed now. We’ll be starting some small extras tomorrow, like drainage and maybe extending the water supply to the lavendera and shower. A few pictures from today.
Darling, Darvin and their next door neighbor cousin Jose Francisco at the new North half wall with a little wood framing started.
The new cooking area between the house and shower.
Darling in the new shower, between cooking area and latrine. The roof is supposed to extend over all of these.
The latrine, untouched since a few volunteers took some turns on Friday.
Bonus pic: breakfast view from Kathy’s Waffle House this morning.
Bonus pic: Masaya, Saturday night,1 of 3 craters in the world where public can look straight down into flowing lava. Lots of human sacrifice references from the tour guides.
Bonus pic: Fort over looking Masaya built by Samoza regime with US help. Lots of very bad things in the 2 levels of underground prison cells. The run down tourist attraction is now loosely operated by the Boy Scouts.
