Its only a week and now the roof is appearing. This photo was taken last week by Jeff the builder.

The Ihumure Vocational Training College with its 9 classrooms is looking good, and on schedule for completion end of July.

Here comes the roof!

Once the roof is on, the concrete floor will go down and then we are into electrics and plumbing. So we need to get down to negotiating with the planners about what type of septic tank we are allowed.

Its only 2 and a half weeks since the previous photos and it is very difficult to understand how they have managed to build all the walls in such a  short time. 

Not only did they have to make all the bricks on site, but these photos show that they are already well on with the ring beam that supports the roof

Sorry the hoto is a bit squint, but I can assure you that the building is on the level - I think!

The photo below shows the classrooms from the west end. The nearest rooms are the toilet blocks, so they are a bit small than the classrooms. The large central area is for the kitchen classroom, which reminds me I need to get on with finding some kitchens to kit it out! Perhaps a trip to Ikea tomorrow!
