Amazing progress on the store

I just returned from a visit to Agustin Gonzales and Las Rancheritas. I am blown away. Here is the list of what has been done since April with about $1000 US dollars. 

1. A functioning water line has been run to the site. Distence about 4 blocks.

2, A water storage tank has been installed with interior pipes.

3. A septic tank has been dug and bricks are being layed.

4. Two toilets and a sink are installed.

5. The main interior is competely finished including smooth concrete walls and a beautiful smooth floor.

6. A window has been installed with the fabulous view of the valley and San Miguel.

7. The road has been repaired so the entire distence from the asphalt highway to the building is a smooth gravel drive about 1/2 mile. 

Please check the amount that has been spent. $1000 US dollars. 
When you look at the photos parts may look crude. Remember everything is made from cement in Mexico so finish walls will be smooth and lovely and forever when they are complete.
You will also see the notebook where Isabel Cazares has keep every receipt and notated all costs. We are going to work on a little bookeeping system. Since this is an entirely new idea to them.
