12. Construction of Ventilation Blocks


Well, before finishing the brick wall I advised the students to place in some ventilation blocks to allow natural ventilation into the store room, the only problem was...... how to make one.

As usual there was little budget for extra materials as it would cost up to RM 2.50/block to buy it from a hardware store. Me and my assistant came up with an idea to make a mould from plywood (external frame) and plastic boards (internal holes), but a very smart student (cant remember his name) came up with the idea to place nails on the plywood to support the plastic boards from irregularities.
