The truck chassis was transferred to the beach after the engine was removed and it was much lighter to pull. This is where we hope to build the house upon -- but that's not as easy as it sounds as one challenge swooped down after another. On Saturday, July 23, we drove to Calatagan from Manila with all the workers and construction materials gathered from three hardware stores and my Mom's store room.
The 16ft elf truck that was rented couldn't traverse the usually tricky part of a curving bumpy slope so my husband pulled it with his pick-up.
While one group handled the transfer and unloading of construction materials, one group had to connect 1,900 meters of wires to bring electricity to the beach area.
While all this was going on, Joshua enjoyed himself playing in the sand and making a playground out of the older house on the hill.
After unloading the materials, the carpenters set out to build their barracks which will be their sleeping and living area while the space under the floor hosted all the wood to be used for construction, protecting it from the rains -- which is additional challenge building in July - August.
At the end of the day, scenes like this make it all worthwhile.
