Today saw us running into a few obstacles (Actually, being much taller than Nepali people in general, we've been running into quite a few low door frames too).
Ready to paint the final room, we found that half of the render was falling away from the brickwork and had to be removed. This has set the project back by two days at least and we've now hit panic mode trying to choreograph the final pieces of the puzzle requiring the services of an electrician, a metal fabricator, a carpet layer, a cement rendering crew and a local carpenter. A challenge by anyone's standards but here in Bungamati it's going to require some divine intervention.
Still we're working at a break-neck pace and more details can be found at the "Friends Of DSA" Facebook page where Maggie Piper continues to document and share our progress with a large friend base that is working towards securing ongoing support for this wonderful cause.

Bad luck indeed, it was going so well! It would be so nice to leave with the rewarding feeling of a completed job! We wish we could help and hope things get sorted out... and that you all still have a bit of energy left for the trekking!
ReplyDeleteBugger but if it all went to plan where would be the fun in that? Also if it was easy everyone would be doing it. I think its good that the boys will have to work with you to come up with solutions and then implement them. good luck guys. Craig
