Some more work of course

Trenches and water tank are coming along by the 2nd week. We are ahead of schedule already. Trench was finished (thanks to everyones hard work and all the help from the Maasai People!!) and work was being done to complete water tank and generator shed. The throwing and laying cement onto a tank is a Work of Art.....Rob don't quit your day job :) Everything is done manually. There are no machines here (again no electricity to power them), so everything from sifting the sand to mixing the cement to making the wooden barrier at the top for the roof is all manually made on the spot. Here is me using a "Tanzanian Axe" - machete in one hand, wooden block hammering it down in the other.
