Day 5-6: Wood that's made of Stone

A lot of materials are cheap in India: Cement, gravel, sand, bricks. But for some reason, wood (of all things!) is relatively expensive. So with some bargaining we finally got some wood for concrete frames along with some nails. When we started hammering into this wood, we realized that this isn't your American 2x4 semi-soft wood. The wood was hard and the nails were soft and it took 20 minutes before we could get a nail to penetrate the other side of the wood. We gave that up, and, as you can see, we were resourceful and used the heavy bricks as support.

And this is porous concrete. It's basically just gravel, cement, and water and works as a type of filter inside the Soilet box.

This is the beautiful toilet. That's right, its the Asian squating platform. The Indian Standard.
