After our standard Monday morning meeting, we headed to the site for non-brick stacking work. Thank goodness!! Groups of us hauled sand and gravel, poured the concrete for the stem wall and shower areas, and began laying the CMU blocks on which to lay the adobe bricks. Only 9 weeks left until we have (hopefully) a finished house! Pressure's on!
