Football pitch week 4, heavy work

The mechanical digger was cancelled because of budget miscalculations (we need all our funds for the actual materials). So all earth moving is by hand. Last Saturday we had 50 people on site, this Saturday 30 (half children).

It’s heavy work and the 25 ft cliff of the last corner was not shifted. There were injuries; a head had to be sutured, and several finger and foot wounds (many come in flip flops and don’t wear gloves). .

The largest rocks (5 tons and above) are broken by lighting a fire on them. Smaller ones are broken with a sledge hammer and chisel. Heavy granite boulders are rolled.
