OPD Building Update

Its been a while since my last OPD building update and the buildings really starting to take shape. Here are a few pictures of what has happened over the last few weeks.

Pouring the concrete for the columns. No safety
harnesses here!

Half the columns completed and wrapped with wet
sacks to help the curing.

Construction of the exterior walls has begun. The exterior walls
are stone with a plaster finish on the inside. It looks really good
when its finished.

I've been quite impressed with the contractors building the walls
they've knocked two walls down and started again
 because they weren't happy with
them. I don't know anything about stone masonry so I'm glad
that they seem fussy.

They build the stone wall with gaps for the windows and
then make the windows to fit later on.

This is another little project that I've been working on. INF has decided to develop the entrance to the hospital site. The completed project includes a new gate and a couple of small shops with an open area for taxis to park and buses to pull in. Eventually it should look pretty good, we've started building the gate.

The gate has ended up being much grander than I think is
necessary but it's still kind of nice your own design
come to reality.
