The inside before and after
The technicians
The shed, which had previously been used for accommodation, was in sore need of maintenance.
As has been previously reported,the floor had been moved to one level, and then the next job was to line it with plyboard.
This was extremely exacting work, with metres of tolerance due to the precise square and straight nature of the frame. With Kevyn's building skills and Andrew and Anke banging in three and four inch nails as requested,what used to be a hot, dusty, airy, crocked, mossie habitated unlined shack is now a hot dusty, airiy, crooked, mossie habitated, lined shack, soon to be painted and have fly wire installed Well done, with few consistent nails, three hammers, one circular saw, two drills, ( posi- drive screws are unknown here) and locally milled timber.
If any of these workers fall ill, it could be from 1. The rat poo dropping from the ceiling. 2. Tropical ulcers from unhealed scrapes 3. Malaria, from the mossies, that didn't leave till 9.38 am each day . 4. Injuries from the straps of the safety sandals ( see two photos above) or 5,Any number of other nasty tropical stuff. Just as well there is a well staffed hospital here.
It was a good result from a basic beginning, and shows. what can be done without all the whiz-banggery of the modern builder.
And testing the ancient ECG machine shows there is a heart, and that Lisa has not led Kevyn to an early demise, contrary to her familiar predictions.

Leigh, not Michael or Victor, or Molens.
And this is John
