MEET MY TEAM OF SOLAR POWER HAITIAN BUILDERS!!!!

If you're a dedicated handyman and enjoy doing projects around your home like me, it's very likely that you've considered building your own house. One of the absolutely pivotal parts of that process, however, is the foundation. My team of Haitian builders working very hard, mixing cement by hand, pouring concrete on footing, bent rebars. This team is powered by solar. We are building green every step of the way. LOL!

Second step....Pillars placement.

 Today we place the pillars. We close and close and close.....KALITE FARM AND B&B COMING SOON!!!!!
