...spanking new 8-unit condo development in pretty much destroyed town  
(one-third of buildings are completed, one-third were started years ago and  
never completed, one-third were barely started, plus roosters running around  
just about everywhere.):
 
Guy laying concrete block units ("Z" shaped, if you know what I mean)  on 
flat sand ground for driveway.  But between sand and blocks guy is  putting 
big sheets of 10? mil plastic sheeting. Cannot explain why, just says it  is 
good. 
 
In a freezing climate, I would assume the sheeting would just  trap water 
and freeze-jack (new coinage?) the things.  But Trinidad is  rarely below 60 
degrees.    But, what is the plastic for?
