Mud, birds, and leaks

It has rained quite a bit during rainy season, and one day we discovered mud had run down the hill and under the door of our classroom building.  Our builder went right to work constructing a temporary mud barrier.  Later, when we have grass in the yard, we will have to divert the rainwater runoff, but hopefully not more mud!

Also inside the classroom building, we found a bird's nest with a dozen eggs!  Our builder got the nest down and sealed up the edges of both buildings all around with pieces of styrofoam.

Then, after a heavy, blowing rain, we discovered leaks in two different windows.  The windows were made here in Chichicastenango and were not sealed well.  Our builder put silicone caulk in and around the window frames. 

So far, so good... no more mud, birds, or leaks!
