Construction 201


Over the last week our team house has started to take shape. First the walls were marked out with string, and after a few minor changes, the contractor's team of men started on the foundation. By the end of today we should have two courses of blocks completed on the walls.

As construction progresses on our team housing, I am learning a lot of new skills and techniques. I would say that I've moved on from Construction 101 and started classes in Construction 201. Today I learned how to make structures out of ferrocement which we will be using extensively on our team housing.

Congratulations on laying the foundation, though we know the real foundation is prayer and love and the strength of Jesus. Enjoy getting to know you Christine through the blog and hope we meet soon! Thanks for all you are doing to build not only homes but the Kingdom. Jennifer
