Sweating the little stuff, literally!

Dave and his assistant(s) are busy making new tables and benches.Samuel and I are sweating it out, painting inside the offices and bedrooms.  My new desk in my new office!  The water tower is nearing completion.  (It's upside down don't worry.)Martin is busy trying to fix the generator so he can keep welding the water tower.  The generator kept overheating, I can't imagine why:)
Dave is smoothing out the cement floor of the medical clinic.
The backhoe never showed up, which is a disappointment and a blessing at the same time.  The disappointment is that the property was never leveled and we don't have washrooms, therefore, we won't be able to open school the day we had hoped.  The blessing is that the team has done a lot of little jobs that would probably never get finished due to lack of time i.e. the tool room is organized and ready to use, benches and tables have been built, office desks and bookshelves have been built and A LOT of painting has been done.  I can't believe how much painting, we have done.  Several students from Adoration have come everyday to help paint.  To be completely honest, they come in hopes of being able to "play" with a drill or some other tool that makes noise, but they usually end up with the job of painting and despite getting paint all over themselves (literally) they seem to enjoy it and work pretty hard.  It has been HOT lately without much of a breeze, which causes us to sweat like crazy.  It's been one of those weeks when you don't mind at all that you don't have a hot water tank:)

Sounds like lots is getting done! Although none of the pictures of Max show him with his new hammer! Did he lose it already?
