Wednesday September 5th. Progress on some of the dormitory rooms is made at the hands of Edward's Ugandan team.
Reaching this height calls for some authentic Ugandan style scaffolding - first grow some trees (or plant some trunks). Tie on some cross-pieces to rest on the walls - this will present some obvious difficulties when adding more courses to the wall!
Ah, now we get some passing Kenyan (like Chege) to test it.
Friday September 7th. Shuttering above windows for the ring beam. Note the fine English crafted washroom shutter windows.
Young Mark pours some ring beam. Steel is used to reinforce this, making it (hopefully) earthquake-proof.
Front section (office, washrooms, kitchen, dining room) ready for ring beams. Note the step in the floor - this was deliberate, but caused some struggles in the maths department.
Tuesday September 11th. A few more courses of blocks above the ring beam to roof level, and some door and window frames lend an impression of completeness to the North-Eastern end.
As walls start climbing on the further side of the building, ring beam progress past the front wall leaves us in reasonable shape for the coming of the chippies on Thursday.
