A five gallon bucket is a foot in diameter and just over a foot tall. It will take over 11,000 buckets of concrete, carried from the mixer by hand and up a ladder, to pour the second floor of the Be Like Brit orphanage.

About paulefallon
Greetings reader. I am an architect and father from Cambridge, MA. The blog's name, The Awkward Pose, refers a sequence of three yoga positions that increase focus and build leg strength by shifting the body’s center of gravity out from under our feet. The objective is to achieve balance without stability.
The blog features entries that address opposing tension in our world, and my attempt to find balance through understanding that opposition. Entries emphasize my personal experience in yoga, my evolving connection with Haiti, and my observations as a citizen of the United States.
Ok Paul
I’m up to date now.
Great to see the progress you all are making on this project.
