Photos from 2010

A selection of photos from 2010 in chronological order:

Getting the roof of the community center ready to pour.

Laying the drain field.

Discussing the plans with Seth (one of my leaders).

The Appropriate Technology Site team from Crosspoint with Mario Jr. and I.

Talking with Mario Sr. in Magdalena.

Laying out the drainage for under the floor at the community center.

We traveled a number of different days to help out in a town that was buried by a tropical storm. Very messy.

Standing on the freshly poured roof of the community center.

After taking down all of the form boards.

The AT Site team from TCBC.

Welding the front gate together.

The AT Site team from Chico, Grace, and Postma.

The AT Site team from Coast Hills and RMBC, with summer staff Chad from SPU.

Making sure we put the walls in all the right places.

The team that came down to put up all the interior walls in one week.

Getting ready for wiring.

Pulling wire is lots of fun.

The AT Site team from Sunshine Ridge, with summer staff Easton and Chad, as well as Wilfrido, our night watchman.

Getting ready to pull the big wires to the street with staff member Aaron.

Everybody needs to take time out to pick avocados. If you are wondering about the color, these were picked early to be used in shampoo manufacture.

The community center still under construction.

Working with Perly, who came down to build the kitchen cabinets.

The cabinets ready to go up.

Myself, Seth, Wilfrido, and Perly.

A leveled, graveled parking lot sure makes things look better. Also, note all the windows have shutters to keep burglars at bay.

This was not the time I cut my thumb open cutting pipe.
