The Task

A team of 10 people from Venture Christian Church went to Zagrilla Baja – the nearest major town is Córdoba – to build a Mirador de Jenna – a fire pit, pergola, fencing and garden area in remembrance of Jenna Sider. The Sider’s are dear to many and have been strong supporters of Monteolivos. Monteolivos donated the land for this project. The land was cleared and the pergola and fire-pit foundation were built by prior work crews. Our tasks were to install the fencing, lay stone over the pergola floor, build the fire pit and benches and cover them with stone and fire brick.

La Tarea

Un equipo de 10 personas de Venture Christian Church fue a Zagrilla Baja (la ciudad más cercana de Córdoba) para construir un Mirador de Jenna – un pozo de fuego, pérgola, esgrima y zona de jardín en recuerdo de Jenna Sider. Los Sider’s son queridos por muchos y han sido fuertes partidarios de Monteolivos. Monteolivos donó la tierra para este proyecto. La tierra fue despejada y la pérgola y la fundación de la hoguera fueron construidas por los equipos de trabajo anteriores. Nuestras tareas eran instalar la esgrima, poner la piedra sobre el suelo de la pérgola, construir el foso y los bancos y cubrirlos con piedra y ladrillo del fuego.
