First day of the build...

45 Minute ride to the Build site...In an open air bus...love it!!


Meet the Habitat Thailand Crew...


Anne is our Habitat Thailand Coordinator... (with our Health and Safety rules)

Tom is our Thailand Engineer/Construction Guru

AE is our Construction Foreman

And then we have our two construction experts

Pao..
And last but not least, Anne's son Tata...
The site is just getting started so we have the steel beams for the support walls and the roof...but that is all. We started the day with some digging and making rebar. The "Shitters" were pretty proud of their septic tank that they dug and filled. Quote of the day by one of the "Shitters" Rod, who said, " I almost want to pee in that hole".
Daily Stats....
Temperature in the shade - 40 degrees
Number of waters consumed by the team - 120
Thai words taught by Tata - 5... Sawadee (hello), Korp kun ka (thank you), Bye (bye, so not sure if that one counts), Neung, sorng, sahm, (1, 2, 3...)
