Building a House

A house on the street behind us is getting a make-over. Today we heard a loud, continuous noise. We looked out our screened window to see a cement mixer set up in the house owner's driveway and more workers than usual bustling about like worker bees. Each one had their own job and did it repetitively for the entire day, without stopping, in order to get the new roof finished before the cement dried. At night they built a fire in a metal fire-pot to keep warm and slept in the open night air. They work so hard yet probably make only a few dollars a day.
