Pig house construction

The Prolonged Project, 16 pens are under construction using tools that are avaialble there.

The flooring was about to finish, i hope you can see the slope from this pic...its a 3 degree angle slope.

The prolonged project has started. I actually went and did the ground breaking which wasnt part of the plan and I was surprised too. So they asked me to start laying one block and then the mixed cement. Well I am feeling good now that it started. It will take at least two months to complete and start with the data collection after that. Here are some pics that I got.
Materials/tools used here are used everywhere in Bangladesh...there is no big took for big constructions, its all the same, big or small, same kind of tools are used. These tools are very simple are very interesting yet the error made is not much significant. here are the tools used.
a wheel barrow weighs about 40kg: water level, very interesting tools
carrying @ least 200 block: man carrying sand
