It's filled up already. After the drainage there were bigger stones first and then smaller ones to give the right protection to the tubes and to keep the foundation 'elastic'. Here is the difference in the building technic: This kind of foundation can swing with the earthquake and resorbs it down and not up like other buildings who fall than down.
People in earthquakes are killed from the building, not from the eartquake itself and for this we made a deep foundation (around 1m) to give more corpus to the swinging reducing of quake energy.
You can see how fluffy the stones are packed in special plastic, which let the water flow, because this all is also a good protection against the water

We stay here in a very simple house, some in rooms, some in tents and few outside on the terrass in their sleeping bags. It's not too cold in these days and the fresh mornings give us a beautiful view to the world famous Himalaya with its mountains. Here we see the Langtang mountain very well and enjoy the peace here in this little valley farm.
So, also things like clothes have to be served and in the few free-time this all has to be done. The high motivated supporters work much hours a day. We use simple toilet and there is no shower room, there is cold spring water running from a pipe and we have always the Nepal famous food: Dal Bhat, which is good and simple but surely not a gourmet experience, but a true food which keeps you 'in power' ..
Luis is a world citizen and is 7 months in Nepal, very good trained in earthbag technic and a hard worker but he also enjoy the break time after lunch with his nice instrument
