Day 55 Last day of Contruction for this Season!

Here it is! Mini-vaults completed over our kitchen-to-be! It took three days for the two of us to finish, but we reached our goal for the season. We just have one day to get our selves together to leave for the four day journey from rural West Texas, USA to the remote beach of Punta Uva, Costa Rica.

Day 3 raising the roof:
Wheel barrows Hauled up to 2nd floor: 10
Mud: 7
Block: 3

Wench pulls to 2nd floor:
10 wheelbarrows X 119 pulls = 1190 pulls

Bricks placed: 120

Steps up ladder to 3rd floor:
With Block:
3 blocks each trip is 120/3 = 40 trips up ladder with block
With Mud:
8 buckets per wheelbarrow went upstairs X 7 wheel barrows of mud =
56 trips up ladder with mud
Total trips up the 10 foot ladder today: 106 trips
7 to 10 steps up the ladder = 848 steps up the ladder.

Hours worked today: 10 to 6:30 = 17
24 + 27 + 17 = 68 total hours to put the roof up.

Beers fueling roof project: 12 + 4 + 1000 = 1,016
