Here is the finished product. I was told that the new road is used by more people than ever before. People with their tractors, cows, water buffalo-drawn carts, motorbikes and walkers use this mud-free road.

Most people asked me to sit in the shade while they did the hard work. No thanks, I'm not a sitter.

The youngest child to help rake out the stone was 4 year old Bon Tin.

Even the children helped rake out the stone. This was no easy task in the heat of the day.

About a dozen neighbors came out to rake the stone evenly on the road.

At $35.00 per truck load of stone and $350.00 later the stone was placed on the road.
