We have had two build days at Emilio's in a row now, and can see the progress with walls inching higher and higher. Yesterday was cut short due to rain - so the spare time was spent with a tour of the neighbourhood to see a couple of the Habitat houses, as well as some free time for shopping in town.

This is a 'seed house' for Emilio, which will eventually consist of 5 rooms - kitchen, bathroom, living room, and two bedrooms. However, for now he will only build three rooms (kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom), and the remaining two rooms will be built later when he has the funds. The foundation has all the rooms laid out, but we are only building walls for the 'seed portion'.

Work tasks continued with the building of columns, mixing of cement and mortar, and laying of bricks. We also had a delivery of more bricks, so we set up a standard 'brick line' to get the bricks from the truck to the inside of the house.
