Martinez was first given $500 to buy stone and mortar, which he did. Next, Martinez poured a new foundation for the rock walls. As soon as the cement dried, Martinez began laying the stonework.
Munoz said he was impressed with the rate at which Martinez was laying the stone.

Munoz said Martinez stopped showing up. Only two walls had been partially built, and despite numerous calls, Munoz said Martinez would not go back.
