It is going to be a great week at the project!
Dropped Ceilings
A special thanks to
Scott Bauer and Wrightway Interiors Systems in Peoria, IL. For allowing Mike
Miquiston & Derek Allison to spent 4 working days with us and getting the
dropped ceiling installed in the entire first section!
Their stilts and laser were big hits here in the DR!
Concrete Work
This week we plan
to get over 260 cubic meters of concrete placed on the form work that is getting
final preparations – this concrete will be the roof slab over intensive care,
maternity, overnight rooms, and more - a
total of 1,103 square meters (11,872 square feet)! This will be equivalent to the combined first
two areas where we have completed this type of concrete work. With the
completion of this area, we will have 54% of our roof area completed.

| Conduit pipes to run wires and piping between rooms |
Our electrical crew
is hard at work preparing for the concrete by installing countless numbers of
conduits so that we will be able to easily run wires and gas pipe from room to
room through the concrete walls and beams.

Plumbing
The plumber is preparing
to connect our water lines to the main 2” supply line that he will be installing
soon. We want to get these first two sections of the building pressurized so we
can confirm that there are no leaks before we begin placing a base layer of concrete
on the floors. The cistern floor has been poured so the rebar and carpenters
will begin getting the walls ready for concrete.
and ... Painting!
The team from my
church (Second Presbyterian) in Roanoke, Virginia is doing some final prep work
and getting paint on the walls in our first section of the building! We hope to
show you some colors in a few days!
