April 2004 Baja Trip
The Sierra Mountains are 600 miles due south of Tijuana. The scenery is beautiful, but the road leaves to be desired. After several hours of travel we finally arrived in the community of San Francisco. We were greeted by some of the locals and were lead to the building that would be home to our group. The land is covered with rocks and small cactus making it difficult to travel in the van. Walking or riding a donkey was our only options for travel. There is no electricity, except for a couple of homes with a generator, used sparingly because of the lack of gasoline.
Building a House
This could be your group building a house for a family in Mexico. With little skill labor and several willing hearts, this 24’ X 24’ home can be constructed within 3 to 4 days. When you arrive on site the slab is already poured including drains for the bathroom. All construction materials are available. The group starts with framing the outside walls and interior walls. Following with the framing of the roof. While part of the crew is completing the roof the rest of the group is applying the exterior siding. The windows are then installed. The outside is trimmed out and then the paint is eagerly applied. The inside crew is busy installing the wiring, insulation and sheet rock. Finally the moment the team has waited for, the completion and the dedication service. This is when the key to the front door is handed over to the family with the Lord’s Blessings.
