After a couple of days waiting for the cement on the roof to cure, the supports and support poles were removed. Reginald (green shirt on the left), Jameson (middle - son of Yonel) and Yonel got to work carrying sand to make mortar for the parging.
The first step is a rough parge.
The rough parge is followed by a fine parge which smoothes the roof and walls. These guys were good at parging. They finished the inside of the house first.
We got some different colored cement powders to form a pattern on the floor.
The cement boss making a "homemade" ceramic style floor. The Haitian people are artistic and resourceful
