When in doubt...C4!

Since school has started for me a couple of weeks ago, I have not had any time to work on the building. I've had long days and short nights. As with everyone else, money is also tight. This weekend, however, there will be time to do some framing and some rough landscaping.

On another note, we gather the books for sending to Kenya this past Friday. We took them to the Artifacts, Inc warehouse until we could "palletize" them. They should be sent off soon. It's one of those great coming togethers that happen sometimes. PISD donated the books, the local Rotary gathered them up, Rotary International is paying for shipping, Jean Mollard is storing them for us, a local freight company is carrying them to Texas City for us at a significant discount, A shipper will cargo them to Kenya where a Peace Corps volunteer and a local educator will pick them up and distribute them. All this in the name of education halfway across the globe!

I'll post pics of what I can accomplish this weekend.

Steel thinking about it

The roof is half done. Looks like really good work. The roof is quite solid underneath. Gonna be great!

While looking at metal for pillars in the basement, I saw beams that might do for the ceiling in the main hall. That might allow me to be rid of the pillars in the middle of the floor. If it's not too expensive...maaaaybeee.

There will be a slowdown of work on the building as school is about to start. That means work only on weekends and some evenings. I'll just do what I can. I want to be done with the inside work by April '11.
