Affordable Housing Project - 2

CONTINUING WITH THE IMPLEMENTATION of the affordable housing demo (that is part of CHOI's Home Improvement Program: Better House, Better Life that will benefit the Morán Ballesteros family, a very poor family) and having been completed the anterior labor (leveling process of the ground); by this post I want to share the next activity that took place in their house some days ago. This new activity started with the placement of  the first concrete blocks on the ground of what will be the living room and dining room of the house. Little by little the floor made of affordable products was being formed. At the same time other workes, hired by CHOI, were preparing the first papercret panel to place it as one of the several panels that will form the perimeter walls of the house.

As the time went by, more concrete blocks were placed on the ground leveling them one by one. Papercrete panels stayed standing firmly because they were screwed to wood which also helped to unite panel to panel. While this work was doing, more panels and wood were brought to the place. In my next post I will share more about progress of this demo.
