Nov. 9 First Floor Duplex Poured

We paid for the concrete and the concrete pump to deliver -- but the pump is not working, so we reverted to the old fashioned way... sort of.  At least the concrete was delivered in a truck, which is still amazing to see in Africa.  And to get the concrete up to the first floor, above the storage containers, a special reamp was constructed.

Cement truck at the base of the ramp

First floor with ramp




bottom left corner - concrete pad to go between the 3rd and (still absent) 4th containers


Base of the walls going in after the floor was poured
At this point we can put up the walls on one side of the duplex, but without the 4th shipping container to put at the base, we won't be able to go much further in a couple weeks.  Pray for that 4th container to arrive soon!
