Block Making on the Mission Grounds

First they fill a mold with the cement mixture.
Then he picks it up and drops it to pack it down.
Next he packs it even tighter with a flat tool.

Making a flat surface.....He then fliped the mold upsaide down and removed the bottom piece that molded the bottom and the middle.
After that he removed the outer mold and put it back on the bottom part and carried it over and started the process all over again.
These blocks will set in the sun for 3 days drying, each day they will be watered so they do not dry to fast. After they are dry they will be used to build a wall for the back side of the depot. (Look at previous post where they were putting a cement floor in.)
