Progress on the Rainwater Court construction is back in action and moving quickly. After a four year drought, the long rain season returned with a furry; great news for the community of farmers in the region, but tough on the construction process. Access to our site was closed for two weeks due to flooded muddy roads. At one point, Boslika tried to face the mud, and get a lorry full of materials. The results: a lorry buried to the axles spent 26 hours on the road (even the rescue tractor was stuck in the process!) But, the rains have subsided for now, the road is cleared, and everything is up and moving in full force.

We've also had a change in consultants for the project. We're happy to welcome Structural Engineer Mike Gumbi of Gumbi & Associates, and Project Architects Julius Wariagu and Joseph Wambugu of Multiplex Systems to the team. Their local expertise and dedication are ensuring a smooth process from here on out.

The court surface has been excavated and leveled, with hardcore almost complete. The room block is quickly coming in reality, with the slabs and stage already poured and stone work underway. Steel Fabrication will begin very shortly, followed by the main court slab pour, and column setting. It's going to be a busy month!

Check out continued progress pictures in the slideshow, and stop back for another update soon!

Have a good one,
Greg
