The walls are up to what they call the “Lentil”. The lentil is a steel reinforced concrete beam that runs the full length od the walls just above the top of the door and window openings. It functions like what we would call a “Header” The lentil is the next step. The rains are not too bad this year which normally would hinder construction and material deliveries. Thanks God!
Walls complete to the lentil course.
One day progress since the last post….. The community is excited about what God is doing through His servants.
The first few courses of ricks show the outline of the 4 classrooms. Bricks are and made and fired but are in short supply due to the heavy rains lately. Progress is good and will move quickly between rain storms.
I find the construction process in different parts of the world interesting. I’ll bring step by step updates on our LSA Building #1.
Progress update as of today. The slab is finished. After drying, the brick walls will start to be laid and the 4 classrooms framed.
Moisture barrier. Under that is a rock/gravel/sand/steel mesh base and rock/concrete footers.
Making concrete
Pouring the floor.
…one wheelbarrow load at a time.
We put a video together to help tell the story better about the Stream of Hope Home in Nawantale, Uganda. Click here to the video on YouTube. I think this is just a beginning. We have lot’s of work to do at this home but I am convinced that these children would have a desperate and dangerous future without God’s provisions and the service of everyone to this mission. It is a great story just starting…
