Ready to paint…The concrete apron around the building is done, the veranda sidewalk is covered, and the fascia boards attached.  Next of course is painting the walls inside and outside. 

Fascia boards and oxide fresco covering of the floors and sidewalk.

Concrete apron around the footer of the walls.

7 weeks after ground breaking…..Plastering details are being finished and the walls and floors readied for painting.

Inside work

Window frame finishing

Door frame finishing

Preparing the fascia boards

The plastering (cement covering) of the brick walls inside and outside is finished.  The doors are finished.  Wiring was pulled through the building for lights and power outlets (a luxury in a school).  Next is the finishing of the floors with a paint and cement mix (like a fresco), painting of the walls inside and outside, and the pouring of a concrete apron around the building.

Throwing the plaster (cement) up on the wall. I’ve tried it…much harder than it looks.

Walls finished inside and outside

Welding the doors to fit

Here’s a peek at the kids in the Nursery thru 2nd grade classes held now in the Lord’s Servants Home dining hall.

1st and 2nd Grade

Nursery class

Window frames are in….doors next, then comes covering the walls in smooth concrete.

5 weeks ago we broke ground, and today we are under roof.  That is very fast, in any country that is fast for a 4 room building.  Next up is fitting the windows and doors and then plastering (actually cementing) the walls.

Under roof, steel corrugated.
