Masonry is an important trade in Haiti. The government just recently released building codes, so it will make things easier to teach not only to the curriculum but to the new standards. The students will learn the methodology but become “hands on” proficient in the masonry systems. It will include concrete ratios, slab prep and pour, reinforcement, column and beam fabrication, brick work, block laying, pargeting, and much more.
Student kit includes:
Safety glasses / gloves
Ear plugs
Tool Apron
Pencil / marker
Tape measure / mason’s ruler
Hammer / nail puller
Chalk box / plumb bob
Utility knife
