Brazilian Construction. . .

Another normal sight here. Notice the ramp leading up to the roof? Sometimes men will be pushing wheelbarrows full of cement up the ramp in order to finish areas of the home. When the building is taller than this one, the ramp will zig-zag until it reaches the top! Amazing, really. The ramp is being supported by small logs and two-by-fours. Probably not the safest, but hey, it works!
