We've been able to make a lot of progress on the house this week. The men working on the house found out that Terry, the wife of the executive director of Eagle-Condor, will be coming to Salcantay next week so they began busting their butts to get the house finished. With our help we've been able to get lots done.

We spend a lot of our time nailing bamboo to create the ceiling. When we finish nailing up the bamboo the men plaster over it. Then we get to sand and paint.

This is what our walls consist of...wood, bamboo, then plaster...
