A throne fit for a kingToday the materials were purchased to complete the roof and septic tank/toilet project. Following a description of the problem at the group reflection meeting last night, more than enough money was collected to buy the materials. We began by laying another course of cement block to prevent the rising seasonal flood waters to submerge and flood the tank. We found the water rises daily within a few feet of the house as well as flooding even higher during the rainy season.
It was good to see the husband of the house not only pitching in to help but taking charge of the bulk of the work. "Ticos" here take pride in their work, but the problem they face is a lack of funds for materials. PVC pipe was laid and a base of wood and concrete was constructed for the toilet. The finished product was "MAGNIFICO." A throne fit for a king Tears of gratitude flooded the eyes of the woman of the house. This project was very gratifying.
