Yesterday was roof slab pouring day at Shammah House.As you can see from the photos a lot of work has been done since my last post about the building work. It was a busy day with more than 60 men working from 8.00 in the morning to 5.30 in the evening. We went through hundreds of bags of cement, truckloads of sand and gravel and lots of water. At one stage the power went off and water had to be carted by hand from the irrigation tank. The day went smoothly without any other dramas and just as they finished their thanksgiving prayers at the end of the day, light rain started to fall, perfect for damping down the slab. Exactly what they'd prayed for at the beginning of the day. To see more Shammah House construction photos click here to go to our facebook page.
