Christ Church construction team

Midday on October 24 a team of 9 men from Christ Church, Plano, Texas arrived, by the skin of their teeth,  to help start on the new dormitory for Casa Hogar Sagrada Familia.  Their lugagge all arrived finally by 2:30 on October 25.

Their task for Monday was to dig a big hole to be lined in plastic
to be a reservoir for water for mixing concrete on Tuesday.
The hole ended up being a meter deep. 

Some used pick and shovel to loosen dirt 
and then fill wheelbarrows.


To take to a large dump to be hauled away.

While the team all ate lunch, a truckload of large rock 
came for the base of the columns to be raised Tuesday.

After the hole was dug, it was lined with plastic
then covered with sheets of roofing 
in order to minimize condensation of the water.


The team posed for a shot after their 
"mission accomplished" for the day.
