The Almost Forgotten Argentina Posts: Part Four

The biggest project of our trip was building a half pipe. The kids love to skate and what better way to draw them in?  Obviously we didn't come with professional carpenters but we had hammers, lots of nails, a saw, blueprints and several willing bodies and that's all it takes right?

                                                            We did lots of measuring...

                                                                    hammering...

                                                                       
                                                                         and drilling...

                                        and two days later had some semblance of a half pipe.

We only had one sheet of plywood on at this point. This was right before Sasha put a hole in it with his heel.

Did I tell you it was cold here? I had five layers and a scarf on at this point and was trying to attract some of the sun to warm myself.

                                                                       
                                                                      More sawing...

                                      
                                                                            sweeping...

                                                                          hammering...

and it is finally done. Four days work to get to this night. The youth outreach that was the main reason for going to Argentina. And every single frustration, speck of sawdust in the eye and hammer to the thumb was worth it.

                                                  Attempt number two went much better.
