The building begins!

Yesterday we arrived in Lovina. Along the way we stopped at another Hindu temple on a lake. My hair was doing its own thing.
Then we visited the build site which is actually an hour up a hellish windy mountain road for our hotel. It's a small village , most of the people work on farms of hydrangea and oranges that they sell at market. Blue hydrangea are bought by Hindus who use them in their offerings/prayer. There's another team from Canada working on 3 houses and we have 3 of our own. They are at varying stages, mostly all just still building the foundation and digging holes for septic tank and well. 
Today I mostly twisted wires and shaped wire to build these long posts that will guide the mortar and cement bricks that will be placed next. Pretty easy stuff and not as tasking as those who were guiding the well. 
Our house has 5 puppies, chickens, kittens, and 2 cows. The husband and wife work along side everyone, including some over villagers who recieved a habitat home and are then required to help others build in their village. 
Later we return to our hotel for a quick swim in the pool (our driver told us the beach has poisonous fish) and dinner .
