Mayabeque, Cuba: Yoanne Ramírez Reyes began this October 28 to manufacture granite pieces, inserted into the Program for Local Production and Sale of Construction Materials (PLVMC), in Jaruco.

In the first two days of work, this empirical mason accumulated more than one hundred units of the highly demanded and deficient floor element, until today in the municipality.

“There is no hard work when you like it,” the 40-year-old man confesses, and states that if stability with the supply of material resources is maintained, he could deliver up to 120 slabs daily.

To fulfill these aspirations, he set up an area located near his residence, the Escaleras de Jaruco community.

There he built a platform with capacity to melt 98 tiles, but before he made 42 iron molds, which in his opinion are more durable and provide more quality to the product.

In that open space, you can see two mountains of gray and reddish granite, as the guarantee of being able to maintain a good productive pace, for the moment.

In addition to those 20 cubic meters of the material, he received five tons of cement and a hammer mill through the PLVMC, besides other equipment and tools from his property.

“On the march, life is teaching you,” Ramírez Reyes says.

He has also the purpose to manufacture semi-polished slabs, build a warehouse and even create the conditions to enter the world of prefabricated parts.
