Remember the house we built for Jorge in San Pablo?(The Lake Houses Jan 22, 2007) Here it is finished. Jorge finished the door and window and the stucco on the outside and it looks great.
We have created a new design for a home using block. The design takes longer to build but is cheaper. Paul and I will be building the prototype this next week (may 6-8) for a widow and her children. Hopefully the construction will go well and we can build another in San Pablo
and 9 more in other locations in July and August.San Pablo is made primarily of adobe. some of which is not even made from adobe bricks but rather from corn stalks in a grid with mud on them. Many of these homes are barely standing but we still are limiting our construction for those recommended by the local church who have no home at all.
