The constuction for Elvis' house has taken off since they received a donation to help complete it. Here is a picture taken on Thursday. They are ready to pour the floor, and I believe the SI's construction ministry will come next week to help with that. Then all they will have left is to put up doors and windows (which they lack a bit of wood for) and hopefully paint (again, if they have enough money in the end).
The picture below shows Elvis pounding the dirt floor to prepare to pour the concrete floor.
I asked where they are sleeping while they finish the house. Elvis' mom replied that they are sleeping in the house as it is, they just haul the beds outside when they are working on the house and bring them back in at night.
