After the conference was over, Michael, Papa and I went up to Allegue and worked on the property for a few days. Papa preached on Sunday, and I got caught up with some friends over the weekend. Then Monday and Tuesday we poured footers. Here are some pictures. The red lines are generally over the footers, the yellow lines are over the septic, and the purple line is where the fence is. Michael broke a couple of ribs when they were drilling the wells up there just before Pastor’s Conf., so he was the boss of the job while others did the heavy lifting and such. Papa did the actual concrete work, and I was his go-fer. 🙂

Clean up
After Papa left later in the week, Michael and I had some other things to do. Then we worked on the property some more. We set the gate posts, formed up and poured the cap on the front fence wall, and did other various jobs that needed done.

This next picture is from outside of the left fence line on the land. The rig there is the well driller. The black barrel in front of the rig is where our well was drilled, and to the right of that is where the driveway comes down from the road.
Finishing the low wall in front of Wilmon’s house. The fence will be on it.
This wall is capped! It takes a lot longer to do things in Haiti than it does in the States. But it is a job well done thanks to Michael!
