ARE WE MASONS YET? 🤣 getting us very excited for the tiny casa!!! show some love for Jazzy 🧱 🙌🏼
Doing a great job!
Ya.. ok.. you’re half decent masons with those BLOCKS… lol. BUT…. You’re still going to need a good plumber when it comes time to build the actual house! 😉 😉
Good job ladies. I never saw how block walls were installed and learned something. When I worked as a union laborer there was a job I was at and we had to carry 2 5 gallon buckets of concrete up 3 flights of stairs for a stairwell. 😮 Never again ❤🎸
Looking great, but keep in mind, silicosis is NO JOKE. Use dust masks when cutting any brick or concrete kids!
You both are doing amazing and can definitely be considered excellent “ Mason Apprentices”
Whooo knew 38-min video on brick laying could be so entertaining and satisfying! You gals are pure magic! 🧱💪😁✨
AW thank you! Glad we can keep you entertained we sure do keep ourselves entertained out here 🤣🤣
My husband is a master mason for 30 plus years so I can appreciate the intricacies of masonry work. I get overwhelmed hearing him discuss it. There is so much more to it than meets the eye. He took over a huge camp 2 years ago to just slow down in life but loves masonry. He shows me buildings or houses all the time that he built and are still standing and looking perfect years later. It amazes me how. He even built his parents their dream brink home. He also specializes in intricate stonework. I just love it!
can you said to your Hubby to join my campaign of telling the People in Florida to STOP BUILDING HOMES OUT OF WOOD and Build Concrete like this 2 Ladies are Doing the HOMES will survive a Hurricane and Fire (remember Concrete do not Burn ) sorry but people in FL are so stupid to continue Building out of wood when is Proven Fat the Concrete home like the Caribbean Homes will stand to anything that Nature want to trow to then and yes you can Build then 10 Ft in the air in the time you use a lots of Columns with rebar inside of then the more rebar the stronger they are you can use the under space like a car port or storage but in case of Floods you home will be ok without nobody Dying thank you for listening
Thank you for sharing!! Wow what hard work. We also appreciate so much the work of masons- it’s no joke. Such incredible skills and dedication.
I just love how happy you both are! I don’t know if you’ve realized, but you all constantly have a smile on
Aww thank you- we are so happy! Its a fun new challenge 💛
You guys are doing an awesome job! This work is hard labor!
Yes they're happy ladies .. makes me happy to see them happy😊
Boy, you sure don't shy away from a challenge. You are going to come away from this project super toned. Shout out to your crew!
I sure hope so 🤣💪🏼 haha thanks! It sure is lots of lifting
I love the way you are inmmersing yourselves into the mexican culture by being down in the trenches with them. Learning from them and getting their respect for it. This shows just what kind of heart and souls you have. Much respect from Utah ❤
We’re so grateful they’ve been welcoming and patient with us. It’s going well, thank you for watching and being here with us 💛

The joy on her face when she said "I got here, they put me right to work." It's good to be appreciated for the skills you're learning.
You all are so happy!!!! I love the big smiles! We always knew you had a great work ethic from the cabins but this seems like another level---being able to integrate into a masonry crew is a testament to how determined you all are.

Putting in the hard work. Much respect to you. I'm sure the masons are very thankful for the help.
It was definitely a learning experience. Not sure in the beginning the masons thought that it was good idea. But when they said “Perfecto”! I knew we were part of their team. 😊🐶
It’s so fascinating how you girls get involved in everything, from learning how to do the hard work to actually doing it. You guys are amazing!! keep going Jazz with your Spanish learning !!
I don’t think you two have smiled so much in a long time, I thought the tops of your heads were gonna fall off. It’s awesome being part of a crew, and when the crew assist you it means you made it.

Laying block building walls in my 20's is how I built my lats up. Its a great workout

I'm very impressed to see you two working so hard. I think Jazzy feel at home when she uses her hand. It is so sweet knowing that your workers see you both as "amigos" part of the crew. Well done to both of you.

Awesome job, girls. Both of you! I'm so impressed and amazed to watch your technique progress so much in just this one video. So fun!
Gals,
I admire you. That's real hard work.
Jaz,
When vertical, they are called columns (columnas). The horizontal structural elements are called beams (vigas in spanish)..
Congrats not only on your progress but also for your new construction skills.
You girls are amazing ❤ If you told me a couple of months ago, one day I will be gulping up one video of construction works after another, I wouldn't believe it. And now here I am, watching for each new video, rooting for your projects! Kudos to both of you! You are an absolute inspiration and pleasure to watch!
Love it love it love it love how you girls are hanging in there and learning new trades! Learning all this new stuff will last a lifetime for you guys.
You have been learning so much.
I'm glad Ed and Crew let you get dirty by experiencing hands on masonry. Well done, you‼️
BAM THOSE SMILES, YOU TWO MAKE THESE GUYS ON SITE CALM AND PRODUCTIVE WORKERS , NO BIG BROTHER LOOKING AT THEIR WORK WITH NEGATIVE EYES! YOU GUYS ARE SO AMAZING TO WORK ALONG SIDE, GREAT VID, WITH ALL THESE SKILLS LEARNED YOU CAN BUILD WHATEVER YOU DREAM. I HOPE TO SEE BEAUTIFUL GARDENS, AND PLAYFUL AREAS YOU GUYS CAN ENJOY WITH WOOFIE PALS.
Your smiles say it all. You both love learning and what an education you're getting. Between the cabins and this build, you will about accomplish every trade. Congrats girls!
OUTSTANDING, Go go go go , Good ! Happy Happy , Great Job, well done. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Epic! Every week I learn something new! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us!
OMG, my back huts just watching you. Right now at my age, I could never do this; perhaps if I started "building up" when I was 20 😂 Mega cheers to Jaz for all that awesome work👏 When all this is done, you're going to have to spend a weekend at a spa just working out the kinks. Good reasons for getting that duel citizenship and I'm glad to hear you're not going to abandon your cabin. It will be so nice to see green trees and grass again. So, stay safe and don't break anything (except block 😂) Love you both and see you down the road 🥰 Bernie ❤
Your work ethic is second to none! Seriously impressed by the skills and technique you are mastering! My arms and back hurt just watching you! 😂
Y'all are totally amazing; not only that you have learned to do all that you do but that you have the physical strength to be able to do it all!! AMAZING!!
Wow it’s looking amazing!
All your hard work is paying off!
Another string to your bow .
Well done girls.

I just love how happy you both are! I don’t know if you’ve realized, but you all constantly smiling
Oof, I was a labourer for a brick layer for about a week when I was 17, and it was double tough on me back then. Such hard work, well done.
You both are an inspiration! Showing others, that they can do "anything" too.
You’re crushing it! And my goodness they take their fences very seriously! Would love to build in Mexico and learn from them ❤
So proud of you both for everything you just dive into and learn. Jaz is killing it!! Great job ladies!! I can’t wait to see the casa pequeña !

Your determination and willing to work is astounding...keep up the Great work.
PPE women! Check out silicosis and how cutting masonry without wearing a mask can cause it. Please be careful. We're all rooting for a happy and LONG life for you in all the places you're calling home. ;) xo
Thank you Colleen. We need reminders all the time. Thank you for your support. 💛🐶
My dad passed in 2019 from silicosis. It’s a terrible disease. He lungs turned like stone and he couldn’t breath anymore. My dad was only 62. My heart gets so worried when I don’t see people wearing mask.
@ So so very sorry to hear about your Dad. I know the girls will find masks. They get it. Sometimes we all just need a reminder.
Hola! Siendo mexicana, me encanta ver como se están adaptando a nuestra cultura y disfrutando su tiempo aquí. Me encanta ver como van mejorando su español, serán mexicanas muy pronto! Lo unico que me sorprendio es Crystal diciendo que le gustan las oficinas del gobierno, eso si no lo habia escuchado antes 😅

Good morning my favorite wives I hope you have a wonderful week.im so proud of you for all of you're compishments you have done ❤
you are doing great keepup the good work proud of you girls!!
Damn! You ladies are killing it! ❤
Que lindo ésta quedando todo que alegria verlas todos los domingos y ver como avanza la casa. Y las niñas donde están descansen un poco y vallan a nadar. Las quiero mucho.
hey Crystal and Jasmine, yayyyyyyyy another video, now I have something to look forward to on sundays!!!!!!!! if I can make a suggestion, (I dont know why your team mates didnt tell you this) when you are mixing cement in a wheelbarrow, put the water in first, then add the cement, stir it around until it becomes liquidy, THEN add your sand, because it is alot easier to mix the sand into the water/cement slurry then it is to mix the cement and sand by itself and then add the water, trust me on this, lol, so, put the water in first, add your shovels of cement, stir it around, then start adding your sand until you have it at the consistency you want it
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Jason. Love learning from our pack. 😊🐶
This is so interesting watching the build.. wish I was in Mexico
How very cool! You're both just nailing it, -looking so competent.
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
I love your life my dad built our house by himself to be able to accomplish this has to be so rewarding. You helping these workers will get your house done that much quicker. Best of luck !!
Jaz is killing it
Way to go, you both rock, thank you for sharing, with all the positive vibes
