Builders and Trucks!

See the pictures above of the builders working outside our house. It's strange to see so many women working on a building site although this is a regular occurrence here. I can't believe how they balance things on their heads - they do the same thing with huge baskets of fruit and jugs of water!! I have also put a picture of the trucks just to show you how considerate they are where they park (bear in mind this is the only road leading to our house)!!

So, they have filled the foundation with sand and are now using wooden planks for the base of the floor - I wonder if this new house will stand through a monsoon! Another thing you see a lot of on building sites is scaffolding made out of bamboo!!
