Day 7: Bricklayers Job Done





Wednesday June 3rd 2009
The masons arrived in the light of morning to finish the final layers of bricks above the eave and on the sides to form the gable. I was happy to see them in good spirits and glad to also see that the masonry work will be nearing completion so that we can put our attention on the roof and finishings. Aglame and I assisted in tossing bricks to them as they stood on prefab rafters precariously propped against the building. When there was no longer a need for our assistance we left to visit the carpenter to be updated on the status of the door. We also researched the implementation of the plywood panels to form the roof and tried to decide the fashion in which we wanted to place them.

The other members of the association continued to assist in ways possible. Yankee hand painted some Thank You cards for the donors who contributed to the project and others sat down to discuss the implementation of the exhibition hall and its functions after the inauguration. Once construction is finished we will have more time to turn our full attention to these programs but for now we must deal with the issue at hand...create the space.
