"Local Kine" Construction Methods
A "different" way of pouring a second story floor deck.....
We were walking the along the malacon in Crucita a few weeks ago and came upon this jobsite. These guys not only work as a team, they were a team. They were all wearing their soccer jerseys. Must be the local industrial league, sponsored by the contractor. Their on-site batch plant was pretty cool.
Step 1 - human wheelbarrow, the sand guys
Step 2 - the gravel guys
Step 3 - trowing 'em inside da mixa
Notice the guy with the "U" on his shirt, signaling goals scored, he was the waterman. You can see the 55 gal. drum he was dipping out of with a 5 gal. bucket. In photo number one, #10 is the cement man. Da team was having a great time. Last photo, foreman on the roof sucking 'em up, he was also running the hoist to getting the concrete up to the 2nd floor.

Hi Grey & Pam!
It's Kevin Cole, finally have a chance to catch up on your adventures. Really enjoy your blog, it's like you have included us on the trip too! The house you rented looks great, with beautiful views and grounds. Glad to see you caught a few waves body surfing Grey.
Everyone is fine here in Hawaii. We plan to see James and Julie on the Fourth of July. Been a pretty good summer for surf.
Aloha,
Kevin & Becky
