BUILDING NEWS

Steve and Edd are now working on the frame of the passage ceiling. Edd fell over and hurt his wrist and Steve cracked his head on his trailer. They both tried their best to ignore the pain and keep working. Dion comes and goes but there are no noticeable changes to the roof he is building and we still have no protection from the rain.

I have made some progress with the grouting. I do this job myself so that I can fill the joints between the pavers right to the floor level. Once I do this the floor looks like a brick floor and is extremely easy to clean even with a sponge mop. It is actually better than a brick floor because the edges of the pavers are rounded and much smoother than bricks.

Gary is now working on the rounded patterns in the main bedroom. He has completed the back passage and made a great design in the entrance hall. I am well behind him with the grouting and I can see myself spending the next few months on my knees trying to catch up.

OTHER NEWS

There were a lot of men all working in one corner of the house today so I abandoned my work down there and cleaned out our donga instead. It really needed doing.
