Construction update

Our internet is very weak
at night but that's the only time Ron has to post an update about the progress of the work at the jobsite.   Maybe he can do that this weekend.  He can describe in detail the events of the week and where they are along in the construction schedule.   A lot of the terminology means nothing to me so I cannot adequately write about it.  

We are having nights in the 50's so it is chilly when he leaves for work.  He is leaving the room about 6:45 a.m. each morning and returning to our rented room about 5 p.m.   It is a long and hard day for him but he seems to be really enjoying it.  He says he has a good superintendent and excellent workers, both men and women laborers who do this kind of work all the time.   There is one couple who lives in tents and moves from job to job making about $25 per day for both of them working 9 hours each.  Can you figure out their hourly wage for this hard work?   It is about $1.30 per hour.    It is the going rate for the type job they do.     Workers take an hour for lunch and rest each day, just lying down on the ground to sleep and rest.   I pack Ron a sandwich, snacks and plenty of water and he has a chair to sit in when he is not helping.    Yesterday, he helped a woman with the rebar, a very heavy and hard job.  Ron is dirty and tired each night but he thinks he can continue to be on the jobsite until they get further along and he can be sure they are doing things the right way.    He does not want the building foundation to be inadequate as is found in many areas of Asia.
