Day 10: Building more hive stands

We built more hive stands for the next round late this afternoon. The cement was mixed in a big pile on the side of the road. Any extra cement was used to fill in a pothole (one out of a million, but it is something). We stacked concrete blocks to the side for filling. (The fire next to us was the neighbor burning yard debris).
 All of us watching Kwao mix the cement:
 Me transferring the cement to the blocks to fill:
 The key is to get the cement to be soupy and spreadable but not runny.
 Filling the blocks, which got a rebar in each hole just after:

 We will wait until they dry and then have eight stands to use for four hives!
