All is well as we have begun week three of construction. All of the bottom floor walls and supports are now complete and we have begun the prep work for building the floor portion of the second level. Here we will build in metal beams as the initial support. We will place metal sheeting on top of the beams and then add in re-bar and 2.5 inches of concrete. All of this will take the balance of this week and part of next week. Our plan is to begin the floor pour on Friday. Mixing and hauling the concrete in buckets will take a total of 10 people working from 7 am to 4 pm. For those of you interested, the total cost of the 10 workers labor will be about $100. (minimum wage for a day is $3.50 so we are paying very well compared to many other places).
We have a target of finishing all of the major work three weeks from today. From there we will be doing detail work for a week or so and then we can dedicate this work to the community and to our amazing God.
Be a blessing to somebody today.
Marc
