Running around like a head-less chicken ...

... this is how Richard must feel at times. Amongst the things he organizes on a daily basis are transport issues of all sorts of things (machinery, poles, food, people, materials and so much more), the water truck deliveries and its break-downs, contracts with people, negotiating prices, ensuring the right materials in the right quantity are being loaded, conserving trees and nature as crazy wheel loaders and excavators are moving over the land, calculating sizes of soak pits and septic tanks, defending the team from the aggressive baboon and negotiating prices of capturing it, fighting the termites, getting grass oin huge quantities to the site and and and and ...

This post is to thank Richard for being such a crucial person in this project and for taking his job 200% seriously!

And another update: the foundations are being laid today!!! We are certainly moving into the right direction!

Heute mal ein deutscher Blogeintrag. Ich (Steffi) habe die letzten 5 Tage auf der Baustelle verbracht und mal wieder viel Fortschritt gesehen. Die Bauarbeiter sind an den letzten Kleinigkeiten dran, die Tischler bauen die Fenster ein und die Balkone an, der Installateur kümmert sich um die Angestelltentoiletten und den septischen Tank. Der Gärtner hat schon die direkte Umgebung um einige Häuser herum auf Vordermann gebracht. Und die Maler haben alle Häuser von innen und außen angestrichen. Sogar die ersten Badezimmer sind fast fertig gestrichen. Wir liegen in der Zielgeraden!! Eröffnung am 1.12. sollte machbar sein! Auch der Pool ist in Auftrag gegeben, allerdings müssen wir dafür noch sehr viel Auffüllarbeit in dem großen ausgeschachteten Loch leisten. Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass wir das Glas so transportieren können und nur 2 Scheiben dabei kaputt gehen Unsere Arbeiter beim Mittagessen - Bohnen, Maisbrei und Süßkartoffeln Die ersten Möbel sind auf
