The truck hauling the cinder blocks up the hill broke down half way up. So me anf 20 other volunteers hauled the bricks by hand and hauled the water for the mortar by hand to the top of the mountain. (only because the water pressure was being supplied by gravity).In the end it worked out perfect and all was well. What a satisfaction it was to stand back and revel in all we hae done. We were the ones that made it happen.
