3 July 2009 — Mexico

We took a break from our house reconstruction and helped a group of about 20 people build a house in Piedras Negras Mexico.

The house is about 20x20 feet and has three rooms, four windows, and two doors. It's very simple construction, just dry stacked cinder block with some concrete and rebar in the corners, around the window and door openings, and around the top, plus a little stucco to hold things together. It takes 3-1/2 days to build.
