We completed the preparations so the RV washroom laundry is ready to pour concrete. We also set up the 6-gang meter base with conduits ready to pour. My last day until after the New Year. Heading back to Canada for Christmas with the family. Bruce will work the Mexicans and pour the concrete foundation and slab for the RV washroom as well as make the adobes and complete the second Volunteer Apartment.
