P1000448 Yep! OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Students help unload the fence material.  The brick buiding with the green can on top is the chicken coop Carrying fenceposts.  I had to take this picture, from this angle, because the writing across his backside says, 'we are the solution'. Concrete from previous fenceposts and tree roots make formidable foes when trying to dig new postholes. no tree branches allowed hanging over the new fence!!! 1070-DSC00084 1080-DSC00094 1090-DSC00099-1 OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA closing up the south fence line OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA The nearly kilometer-long fence around the school perimeter is taking shape.

9/28/09 - Building insulation, doors & windows await loading 9/28/09 - Rome gets the next beam 9/28/09 - Steel loading progress 9/28/09 - LUC Jrs help Perry load the trailier.  We're nearly done! Digging the trench for the water line along the snap line. Concrete pad poured at for the new water spigot Grading and compacting the high road that leads from the street to the basketball court More grading, plus first volunteer quarters and toilet in background. Assembling volunteer housing Cutting rebar for footing cages Brick delivery by mototaxi The container LUC Outreach Foundation shipped from the U.S leaves storage hadling at the port in Lima, on its way to San Francisco de Asis Unloading the container - the steel bulding members still to be removed. Volunteers continue to unload the trailer Active tool shelves! Emily (red shirt) works with locals to make footing forms. Volunteers tie the rebar together to make the footing cages Emily and a volunteer bend rebar for the footing cages One length of footing trench.  The four bolts in the forefront are anchor bolts.  Once the foundation is poured, these will remain visible above the concrete, while below the wood the bolts are sunk deeply into the concrete.  This is a critical step as the steel beam uprights are set on top of the anchor bolts and fastened down.  Horizontal meets vertical! Instructions for the concrete crew on the morning of the footing pour.  Note the upper left command.  :) Mixer and pumper trucks, at the ready! Volunteers pour more water on top of the new foundation to keep it from curing too quickly, which would produce cracks. Everybody works together to get it screwed down onto the anchor bolts What a great looking site - a beautiful foundation and all 10 columns in place.  Well done volunteers! Lots of volunteers are ready to help assemble the trusses Up......! 38P1000790 40P1020140-small Volunteers Jess and Kyle work on the roof. Perfect mortar Marilyn the hottie!
