Progress...

First of all...a correction on yesterday's post. Jim and Dick worked on the air conditioning and electrical and Marty and Gene worked on the pump.

As of tonight we have running water. Marty and Gene were able to get our shopping done with Franz...one of our hosts. They slammed through getting the pump working and then they had to run around finding all of the broken pipes and disconnected faucets followed by a lot of mopping. But it all turned out well with both the women's and the men's bathrooms having functioning showers and toilets. Tomorrow the should get the shed built around the pump, filter and tank.

Jim and Dick cranked on getting everything ready to install the air conditioners. They were able to find some scaffolding so that they could run the conduit around the outside of the building. They also put in an extra breaker box to power all of the ac and ran all of the conduits through the walls. Tomorrow we should be able to start putting the ac units in the windows. Unfortunately we won't be able to use them until we get our generator. The prognosis on the generator is Wednesday...keep praying.

While the guys were doing all their work I focused on the women's bathroom. I was able patch the door where the termites had gotten into the frame, replaced the toilet tank, applied two coats of paint, got the shower going and washed down all of the tile. We have one room completed...tomorrow we should be able to get the men's bathroom set up and painted.

The medical team shared that they had a good day and accomplished a lot. Tomorrow we will continue the plumbing, painting and electrical as well as install a satellite dish for an Internet connection. Franz will be setting up wireless and leaving two laptops here for team members to use while here.
