Progress report with 1 month to go (to the day)

Just over 2 weeks into library construction and things are MOVING! You wouldn’t believe how much 10 guys can do in a day.

Yesterday the architect came again to survey the work so far (essentially the foundations). We needed the green light from him before we can start actually laying bricks. He duly gave us the go ahead and from tomorrow the building should begin to rise out of the ground. I have taken enough photos each day to bore the pants off even the most patient observer.

In parallel work has begun on the tables, chairs and shelves. We awarded the contract to “Bush Crafts – For Quality Furniture”, and on Tuesday we dropped by to assess the first pieces. We have also identified a local plaque maker and in the next couple of days I will pass him the wording and the names of everyone who contributed.

I have to admit, I am a little sceptical as to whether it will be completely finished by the day I leave (25th November…one month to the day), but it will be pretty close.
