Two Weeks Before the Adult Group Arrived

As some of you may know, we are starting into a housing project in La Masica. The way we are going about that is to make inexpensive blocks using a technique called compressed earth blocks. The soil is compressed under 2000+ psi and made into a very strong and stable block. They are then stacked like bricks and a roof is put on and viola!! folks have homes that would otherwise never be able to have a home!! Cool!!

The audio on this got messed up so mute the sound....Here we were making the first experimental block in La Masica...Check out the looks on the people's faces when they see the block.
