Truck heading to Atrel and Trusses being built

This morning the dump truck was loaded with building supplies and went to Atrel.  Boss Joubert along with some other men will the spending the next few days building posts around our property so that a wall or fence can easily be built.


Joas, the driver and Christophe, his helper making sure their load is ready for the long ride.





About 6 weeks ago we started the reconstruction of one of the mission houses that was damaged during the earthquake.  It was our plan to do this during dry season since we needed to take the roof off and repair several interior walls.  The rains have started now and this is causing several problems for the apartments under the open house.  Our carpenters have been working for a couple of days designing the trusses and starting to build them.  Knowing that we need to get this roof on quickly, we were thankful that half of the group that is here right now helping to rebuild 2 houses for families who lost their homes in the earthquake, was willing to stay back today and help build the trusses. 
Tomorrow the other half of the group is going to help put the trusses up on the house.  Hopefully we can get the roof on quickly before the leaks get worse in the downstairs apartments.
