Week 10

This week we have increased the number of formworks up to 4 in order to be able to build different walls at the same time. We have also ordered new wooden tampers. The week started finishing one of the walls and placing the formworks on of the next corner. The rest of the week mainly consisted on tampering and moving the formworks up. The carpenter finished the door frame and two other windows, leaving the last wall ready to be built.

The metal pieces that will be the basement for the wooden pillars have been ordered at Kimarios metal place and hopefully next week we will be having a sample of one of them.

Fortunately during the whole week we have being receiving visit of many children extremely motivated to help us with the works; sieving sand, filling buckets, etc. Junia (commonly called “Alfredo”), our best company, is always trying to help us even visiting us even on weekends and enjoying the day with us.

On Sunday morning we relaxed with some yoga exercises. After we went for a walk up the mountains and to drink a beer altogether to the Disco Pub in Kibaoni, turning the place into a real party where we all danced and laughed out loud.
