Panels Complete

There are now ten 8'x8' plywood sheeted panels sitting on Judain's property. He has hired two friends to spend the night at the site so the panels don't "walk off". Recall that the panels were fabricated in the concrete front yard of the guest house. The panels were "hoisted" onto the top of a pickup bed and strapped down for the ride. The four of us were just able to lift a panel so we were grateful whenever a couple others could be pressed into service. Although Judain's property is only a few miles away, a round trip of loading panels onto the top of the pickup, navigating the Haitian traffic (and potholes), unloading the panels and carrying them to the back of the property, and returning to the guest house took about one hour. Five round trips were required to get all 10 panels on site.

The plan for tomorrow is to position the panels and bolt them together after setting and leveling some concrete block supports. Ideally we would also have the rafters cut --- we'll see.
