More Backyard Construction

This is the continuing saga of my once-open "backyard" becoming the home for twenty conex hooches.  Yup, the trees are gone, and it is quite a mess.  The construction workers are all muslim.  Middle of the day working in the sun during Ramazan (Afghan version of Ramadan) - they were pretty much wiped out.  During this time, they neither eat nor drink anything from sun up to sun down.

    Hi Mom
    Conexes are large shipping containers. If you look to the right side of the photos, you can see a whole line of them. They can be stacked together to form something akin to an apartment complex. They normally have three beds in each one - a bunkbed and a stand alone. They are not very big at all. three people to a conex really makes for tight quarters.
