The nett result is that those of you who have been following the blog have missed out on much of the excitng stuff that has been happening over the past four weeks.
My task now is to help you catch up!
I have to say that the building team have been amazing. Under PC's direction they have dug, built, mixed concrete, plastered and kept the project well ahead of schedule. Last week the roof trusses for the kitchen/coffee shop/entrance/office block arrived and Guy's team started hauling them up onto the wall plates - here's a picture of the office block.
(That is the new rector's office at the right-hand end)
On the public holiday Johnnie P. had the place all to himself and so got the electrical circuits wired. He has done a great job. I have to show you what the DB looks like.
The roof of the hall/church has been causing us some worries which I think are now on the way to resolution, thanks to a engineering friend in the roofing business.
I think the saddest news is that we have drilled a dry borehole, tried again, and come up with 1400 litres an hour. We were hoping for 8000 litres (which they managed to find over at the new Spar site). We need something like that to water the 5.5 hectares.
That has meant that Peter M has not been able to plant the grass on the rolling hills. We are planning a 'water' meeting to discuss the way forward - this will involve all those needing water for their various project.
Please keep praying for Peter B. as he runs the project - it is quite a task keeping all the balls in the air!
