Monday, hospital tour and work!

Well, we had a great day today! I didn't take a picture but most of us looked like we went for a swim, much like the picture from last year when we were all wet. Humidity was high.

This morning when we started we finished setting up the scaffolding to put up siding on the back of the building. Then Carolyn Thorson took us on a tour of the hospital. It was a little different from last year as she gave us few more details of the history and why somethings are the way they are. She has been here around 33 years.

Then back to work. We got the siding going and finished the back wall. It was hot but somebody had to do it. Tim and Kay welded the decking on the bar joist so they can pour concrete when they have a chance. Everybody else kept the siding and insulation moving so we would keep putting the siding on.

We had to give our names to the airport in Mouila today so that the right size of airplane would be sent up to get us. I guess they don't keep records of when and how many people are fling or have already paid for a ticket.
Well we have one more day to work then we will be flying to Libreville.
Were hoping to get the siding all on.




This picture was taken on cardio hill which we walk everyday, You can see the steel structure.



This is the view this morning before we started siding.


This is at the end of the day. It is around 30 feet from eave to the ground.




Tim is welding the decking on. They will pour concrete on the deck.

On the hospital tour.





When you have a family member in the hospital you have to care for them, which includes cooking their food. This is one of the cooking areas.
