Today work re-started on site, and they did a good job of it, the first wall of the House Mother’s room is finished and the second one is 60% finished… Tomorrow they tell me they will put up the bathroom partitions (the bricks for that arrived today).But first thing in the morning I met the contractor, Mr. Linakane, and he gave me his first claim so that I could issue a certificate to the bank. I had a look through it and there are just one or two things that I need to clarify before I put my signature on that bottom line! They’ve done a good job up to now, and deserve every penny they are asking for but still I want to be sure about all of them.
In order to try and make up for lost time I have instructed them to start preparing all the things that can be done before the slabs on B are closed, so that as soon as they are ready we can proceed and not loose time with preparations. Tomorrow two guys will start preparing the reinforcement for the ring beam in block A, today they perforated the pipes (we didn’t manage to buy ready perforated ones) and they are now ready to be set, as soon as we get the geotextile!
At Sentebale today we had the hand over of the Eranger bikes, for the remote Red Cross clinics. The drivers were not 100% comfortable with them yet, but they have still to attend training. Then they will be taken up to the mountains and start serving their purpose. As Harper is away in the Uk, Baba (our multi talented handy man) had to do the duties of handing them over.
Went through Molope’s new version of Lydia’s house, he did a great job, and I just want one or two little changes done to it… Then I believe that we are really near to go.
