WE HAVE POWER!!!!!!  After months of waiting, deadlines promised and ignored, the local electric authority finally came and hooked up our temporary meter.  We can now use our own well for water to make our blocks. We can also use the machine that is needed to pulverize the dirt for our rammed earth walls  (it takes a lot of juice to keep it running).







This week we are pouring the footings and pillars.  We are trying to get this completed before the rains really begin, other wise the cement trucks will not be able to access the building site.  Once the footings are poured we will need to bring in the landscape dirt for the inner courtyard (before we block the truck entrance with walls). We will also need to purchase our bathroom fixtures so we know where to place the water and sewer pipes.  Each brand has its own unique design so we must plan ahead.
