It would have been a better day if not for the mistakes by the kitchen crew at Sentebale.They managed to chip the floor tiles and damage the work tops whilst installing the new kitchen. Apart from that the kitchen is now finished, just awaiting that we pick a new mixer and find the dual sink connection pipes.
Siza’s first project was a gate I built a kitchen… Can’t say it has the same quality but it’s nice to have finished something!
I have to say that I should by now not be surprised at the poor workmanship, but I still have difficulty in accepting it and if I hadn’t gone out to take care of the LCCU, this matter would not have ended this way.
But enough about trivial things. The main project, the LCCU also had some major advances today. I managed to receive an updated version of the new costs, they look a bit better but the whole concept of a discount is still wrong. I’ll try and meet with Mr. Linakane tomorrow to sort that out.
The other main development on this scheme was my meeting for approval of the details with Eng. Lebohang Phooko. We have agreed on them now and I have issued them to the contractor. Unfortunately the compressor didn’t arrive on site either. But I’m still confident that next week we might start to build again.
Tomorrow I’ll meet with the Clinton foundation and the Medical Staff but also with a team of Architects/builders that had been invited to help out with the playground or so it seems by the medical staff.
The cold seems to be here to stay though I would appreciate if we had a few warm day next weeks to lay the concrete slabs. If not we will just have to improvise.
