At the midway mark a "centure" (spine) was added which is a rebar frame to reinforce the walls. This steel reinforcement should give the walls more strength through an earthquake.
Once the "centure" was set the rest of the wall was laid.
We planned to do a poured roof. In Haiti's construction practices of the past roofs were cement block laid. A poured roof is stronger.
We walked in the rebar to where Yonel's house is.
Here is the narrow corridor where he lives. Most of his neighbors houses were also destroyed during the earthquake.
