Construction


We have seen a lot of dogs enjoying sand piles, but this is the first time we observed cows doing the same thing. This pile of sand is used for construction. All buildings start out with three or four feet of sand under them. Concrete is mixed by hand with a shovel. There is no heavy equipment to level a lot, so sand can be poured in and leveled. When people are building something, the sand goes in front of their house - even if that is in the street. It is common to have to drive over or around piles of sand.
