They are laying the stone floor for a section of the canal. The stones were cemented over later.

Max clearing the canalÂ´s path of debris

The molds for the sides of the canal

For each section of the canal these molds were built in order to set the cement. All of the sticks are used to ensure that the canal has a uniform thickness.

Cement mixing site

The canal is 260 meters long so in order to lay all of the cement several different mixing sites where cleared and set up at points along the path of the canal.

WalterÂ´s farm

Walter is one of TinaÂ´s neighbors. He is originally from New Zealand, but lived in the states for most of his life. His farm is beautiful and very green.

David poking the cement

After and while laying the cement it is important to poke it with a stick of some sort in order to prevent air bubbles from forming and setting.

Pablo adding water to mix the cement

In order to make the cement we needed to mix cement, gravel, small rocks and water in a pile. The trick was mixing just the right amount so that it was all finished at the end of the day since it could not be left out.

Every week end we needed to trek into town with two donkeys in order to pick up around 200 - 300 pounds of food for the week. It was never really a fun job...
