First time: Here it is!

One snug little house, capable of withstanding the rains when they begin in May, 
  • Four walls
  • 6 metres by 4.5 metres by 2.25 metres.
  • 1600 bricks
  • 3360 litres of water
  • 23 bags of Portland cement
  • A giant pile of sand
  • Rebar and baling wire
  • Tools: hammer, nails, level, plum line, axe, wheel barrow, gloves, plastic bowls, tape measure, sifter, serrucho, manger, escuadra, barr, pala, reglas, piocha, alfajillas, cucharas, liensa, grifas, cegeta, tablas, prensas
  • 90 mason’s hours
  • 310 total man hours

 The roof and doors won’t go on until after I am gone. Bummer!


First time: Machete

Refusing to believe that a woman could live 60 years without seeing a machete, Jerson posed with his.
