Cement Required!
3 basins of cement are carefully handed up to the second level.
Pour it on!
The cement is used to make a flat roof for this extension of the main building.
Young helpers
turn the shaft under the "oil rig" to dig the well. We had to go down 450 ft at an unforseen cost of $8000.
Bring on Solar!
Bath time, usually with shivering cold water. The new building will have solar heated water.
