Day 4

Today the vigas went up on the roof, we began nailing the ceiling boards onto those, the vault on our entryway was placed, and the greywater planter cell was filled with sand, rocks, gravel, more sand, then topsoil.  It was a hot, sunny day, but we are becoming an awesome team who really knows how to work together and have fun!
