DAY 15 (July 26 2010): Heavy Duty Work Day

After a day of nice beach or shopping excursion day, we got back to work on Monday morning. We had three places that we were working on: the base one, base two (AKA the spiral), and stonewalls.

Just in case

Jim found a new hat!

On the spiral, we put stones and poured cement.



The cement was hand-mixed, which was very tough work.

Scoop the mixture around the mountain and place it along the edge of the pool. Keep doing it until the water is gone. Then add more water and keep doing the same.

Lunch was Korean curry with cucumber, potatoes and chicken. With that, of course, we had cucumber kimchi, yellow radish and mayonnaised fruit.

The Stone Masons were amazing and precise at making the stonewalls. They really are professionals at it. Also they lent us some more extra tools such as a hammer drill and wet saw.

I think after two weeks of working together, we are starting to feel like a family with most people. Below are people that I haven't seen being together before.

Let's see today's result.

Dinner was at a seafood restaurant. This restaurant offered us some exotic Korean cuisine. Cow intestines, sea slugs, kimchi, tofu with red pepper sauce, and eel were consumed in our hungry stomach.
