7 April 2009 - Ketchup - Red Rhino Outreach Project

Hello,

It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me here, and now it’s time to catch up…ketchup…

We’ve been back to work for a while and I want you to have all the details, but that’s going to take some time and a few posts, so I’m going to give you a very brief overview today and bring you up to speed over the next few days.

Here goes.

We finished building the form and poured the ring beam for the kitchen building.

We had an excavator, a CAT 955L, here for a week and put it to good work, deepening the dam,

We had an excavator, a CAT 955L, here for a week and put it to good use, deepening the dam,

reinforcing the back side of it with otherwise useless black cotton soil,

creating a new loading dock, so to speak, to load and unload heavy equipment,etc., from our big truck,

and excavating the foundation space for the next two buildings,

both houses for the children.

And we got the steel trusses for the roof welded.

This beauty and the fourteen ton tipper have been doing all the heavy lifting around the property for the last week.

I’ll follow with all the details in the course of this Holy Week, and hopefully by Easter your construction and excavation and fabrication knowledge will have some new life breathed into it.

Yours from Kenya,

David

And Martin, since you’re still single, you get a date with Mia as well. And a sternum piercing syringe, just in case. Just don’t tell Marcellus.

Debi,

I will say this: the quality of photos has risen dramatically in the last ten days or so. It makes us all look better and smarter. Thanks, and congrats on getting your lens repaired.
