Sometimes I wonder for how long this build is actually going to last… I’m disappointed but not surprised.From the list of tasks that I left to be carried out this week, very little which can be seen has been done! It’s a disappointment because it means that in no way will it ever be near completion by the time I need to leave. And I don’t understand it, every day that goes by is a day on which they are loosing money, so why don’t they speed it up and get done with it…
Of course it doesn’t help if your thatcher doesn’t show up, or you run out if stone just two loads short of the top, but surely more could have been done this past week. Even when I phoned on Tuesday and Thursday I had the impression that it was going better than I have seen! Ok one slab has been cast and the other should be cast tomorrow, but these are things that should have finished month ago! The exterior plastering is also on it’s way but then again that is not a major achievement…
Tomorrow I have already organized to meet Ntate Linakane and maybe we will be able to talk it out, but even that I doubt.
And this was not the only disappointment of the day, another small project that I started with Camille has also slightly side tracked due to client changes, but in end I do hope that it will look ok.
The only joy of the day (although not 100%) was to see children playing in the refurbished Football pitch for the blind, it needs one or two finishing touches but at least it reminded me why I enjoy doing this. To see people (children) smiling and enjoying themselves!
