When we arrived from the airport yesterday at mid-day 20-May-2010, the crew hit the ground running. They had to find transport for themselves and the church components, have someone round up the church members who were on the list to assist, and then find the site. All that took a rather long time, but by 2:00 they were laying out the building with posts and strings.
By 3:30 they were digging the first holes for the anchor posts.
At quitting time two hours later, all the posts were in concrete. When they took a group photo to document the event was starting to get dark, so the camera naturally went to flash… one of the church members was wearing a reflective vest…looks like some shining being is a part of this crew!
The men got out of here at shortly after 8:00 this morning. That is the earliest I have ever seen them get going of a morning. It will be interesting to hear the report if they actually were able to begin work 10 minutes after leaving the flat (which is how far away the site is)! They have rental scaffolding available here in Luganville, so once the crew gets started on making trusses and raising uprights, Karl and Brandon will go into town and hopefully obtain what they need.
