The overnight rain contributed to slightly lower temperatures (at least for the morning). Although the day again left us very tired, we are feeling much better than we were yesterday at this time. It was a very productive day of laying block.
The new guest house is 75' x 103' and will provide accommodations for 44 persons. Prior to our arrival, footers had been poured, and blocks for some of the load bearing walls had been layed. There are 2 interior load bearing walls running the length of the building and 6 interior load bearing walls running the width of the building. The initial goal for our 2 weeks here is to lay the blocks for all of the load bearing walls up to the floor level. At that point, backfilling of dirt can be done, and the concrete floor can be poured. Ideally we will also be able to continue laying several more courses of block.
We've begun to build relationships with some of the Haitian workers, and although our linguistic skills are poor, communication at an elementary level still is happening.
