| This is the "house" that our crew made an addition to while we were in the DR. A family of 4 lived in this 9' x 16' home. You can see the addition being started on he left, but the original house is on the right. Can you imagine living in that? |
 |
| Making mescla (cement). This whole addition was done without any power tools. This was true manual labor. |
 |
| Walls going up. |
 |
| The roof came off the original house and the addition is progressing. |
 |
| New roof being framed. |
 |
| Hey, look. That's me. I did help a little bit. |
 |
| This actually looks like a house now. |
 |
| The house was built on top of another house so everything had to be lifted onto the roof of the bottom house or carried up some spiral steps. It was super hot up there. |
 |
| Paint, new windows, and a new door. If you look at their original house, they had wooden windows. |
 |
| Inside the addition. The floor is a cement slab but this addition more than doubled the size of their home. |
 |
| This space is their original house with the bathroom in the back right corner. This is all they had - this small room. I complain about the size of my kitchen but I came home much more appreciative that my family isn't living in a space the size of our kitchen. |
 |
| Bathroom. |
 |
| This is our group. |
