We will soon be dirt block makers. Our good friend, Kin Ellis, went to Bush, Louisiana and looked at the used machine there. Today we drove to Rockford, Illinois and looked at one there. Both of these machines are like new. Both have had about 300 blocks make on them. Just like a car, a block maker decreases in value when taken off the lot. We were able to negotiate with both people and get a good deal. So, we are getting two, almost new block makers for the price of one brand new one. Both of these machines are the small machines, which require more manual labor. That is a good thing in Honduras. Together, both machines will be able to output more blocks than the bigger machine we thought we originally wanted. And these two machines are much, much less than that bigger one is brand new.
Marc is like a kid with his new toy at Christmas. He can't wait to get these machines to Honduras and start making blocks. And it will be so much better to build block houses instead of wood ones.
Thanking God that these deals could be worked out.

So glad the trip was fruitful and the negotiations worked out!!
I know this was a long time ago, but how are the block makers working out? We are looking at launching a faith-based effort in Honduras with our Bolt-A-Blok product and are looking for people or companies that can make the blocks for us. Please respond to dan@3BStrong.com if you can help.
