Roofing with Concrete

Ribon and Tanya (Voltaire's daughter) are building a house. They are waiting to get married until they have their house ready. Today they poured the concrete roof. A lot of the church people came out to help.

The materials are loaded into the mixer by hand. The concrete is dumped into a trough made with blocks on the ground. Then it is bucketed up onto the roof by hand.

This concrete roof is very solid with lots of rebar, good river sand, crushed gravel, and the right amount of cement.

Here is a video of the operation.
