Concrete Work Complete!

We are so grateful to the men of the construction crew who have worked long, hard, HOT hours under the tropical sun to complete the foundation of the fence and the cement boundary walls.Electricians have already installed the conduits for the wiring of the security lights. The men have also installed a 64 meter (210 feet) chain-link fence between us and our next-door neighbor.
The crew did discover a SECOND leak in the government water line which need to be repaired as water is seeping into the foundation trench.  PRAY that the Water Authority of Fiji will come soon to repair the broken pipe.

This week, the welders will be on site to begin installing the steel rods that go between the columns. Another team of men will continue digging the new drainage ditches for the "V-drains" which border both streets. Painters will also be on site to begin painting the complete wall.

We have had some fun choosing the electric light globes that will 
sit on top of each column.  We also chose the paint for the cement blocks. We chose carefully as the future building will be the same colors!

THANK YOU for rejoicing with us over the progress of the security fence.
