Brookstone Group Columbus, GA


Here is a video of the family that the group is building a house for this week.  There was a last minute change on the family we built for.  Apparently there was a mix up of where the slab was to go and it was put on the wrong land.  So thankfully the slabs are the same size and we were able to move to a different family to build a house for them!

 Tuesday

Today was pretty much the same as yesterday.  Building, playing, loving and a little baseball.  Here are some pictures I took today.













Monday

They started building the house first thing.  Lunch will be at the job site most likely.  Then some baseball this afternoon.




This is their old house
You can see their old house on the right.

Coffee bar...check out the size of the cups?  They like it STRONG so you don't need much.

The side walls going up

Dominicans are usually outside a lot (vs being inside a small, cramped and hot house) so they get to interact with the neighbors and people from the community

Typical homes in this community

Very common sight in San Pedro de Marcoris

Sunday


Sunday the group attended church in the morning, ate lunch along the ocean, then met the family that they were building the house for.
