Sunday June 1st 2009The masons arrived to lay the layer of support “chainage” about the door and window frames. They installed a welded metal bar that would be the support for the final layers of the bricks. Once this was in place, there was a need for wooden planks to create a channel where plaster could fill in the metal frame. Of course in any project you come across those items that you forgot to budget in, luckily on this project this was just one of the few “non prevus” (unforeseen expenses).
We scrambled to find wood planks to support the metal frame where they would fill with cement, and in time found some that could be borrowed and returned with little or no charge. Once all was found they started to fill in the channel and secure the layer so that it can cure. Again, I am lucky to have the support and energy needed to see this project through to the end. It makes me realize that they to want its presence in village.
