Ron teaches 4 classes at Rain Forest Int’l School (RFIS). One of them is Advance Construction, which sometimes does mainly woodworking. This semester they get to construct a building — an extension to the school garage. This weekend saw some big progress.
In previous classes they worked a backhoe to prepare the space.

Over the weekend they learned to lay concrete! Friday’s last period class was spent leveling the ground.

Saturday (this AM) they showed up bright and early (for a Saturday, normal time for a school day) to start mixing sand, gravel and cement with water to pour the floor of a portion of the garage addition.

With the floor done, in Tuesday’s class they get to start laying cement blocks for the wall!
