Attic of House
Purple pumice is added to the roof of the houses as insulation from heat and cold Hi All. Sam here. Wren and Stuart have been doing most of the blogging, but thought I would throw my biscuit in too. Last night a number of us suffered from St. Gregories' revenge which took a lot out of us (get it?) and so were a little lethargic in the morning. Today was more bucket lines for mixing and passing concrete and we finished the floor of their main room. We had a group of about 10 former Armenian/U.S. exchange students with us this time and we were able to form an additional team to pull bucket loads of purple pumice (pictures coming) up into the attic where they are used as insulation. The heat was pretty potent and we had to take doing the work out in the sun as everyone soon overheated.
Anna's pale skin and red hair seem to be the object of local wonder here and we are thinking that maybe we could capitalize on this and trade her for 2 nice Armenian girls who wouldn't get so crabby before school and who would clean their rooms. Such negotiations are complex and we will let you know as we go along.
