April 26 Exterior Progressing

The exterior of the house is coming along.  Before putting the roof over the veranda, we had to be sure to complete all exterior work above that roof.  So the wall is plastered and the window frames with security bars are installed, and the screens are in on all the upper level windows in the front.

While scaffolding is up to do plastering on the top level, windows all around the house are getting done on that level.  Inside, we have purchased all that is needed for ceilings on the top level.

And more of the metal work is getting done.  Now there is a railing along the stairs at the door to RFIS.

Next we'll need to start prioritizing purchases and complete just one side - most likely putting tile only in the kitchen and bathroom.  Will have to put in plumbing, sinks, toilets, electrical plugs and switches, light fixtures and light bulbs.  To paint or not to paint?  That is the question   Funds have run out, so we're now only able to continue with advance rent payment from us.. which is not nearly enough!  Look here if you would like to contribute toward the completion of this greatly needed housing for Covenant & Free Church RFIS staff.

20 April 2013 Roof Over the Veranda

It was Carnival day at Rain Forest International School today, so I took the opportunity to go over and take some pictures now that the roof over the veranda is getting done.

See the framework of the roof over the veranda on the right?

All the upstairs window screens were installed, and the exterior walls on the upper level have been plastered while the scaffolding could be in place.  Once the upper floor work was done, the metal roofing could b nailed in place.

From here, if you turn around and walk up the roadway, you end up at the back of the UBAC Hostel, in Stoker's yard.  And this is what the duplex looks like from Stoker's apartment.
