What we thought was going to be the last work day turned out be another very productive day. The moisture barrier and back-filling was finished by lunch time. The exterior walls are all 6 courses above floor level. The masons continue laying the side walls for the bedrooms. The two Haitian masons are quickly absorbing the counsel of Barry and Alan (the "brickie" from Scotland).
A significant portion of the afternoon was allotted to rest; the temperature on the back porch of the dining hall registered at 130 degrees F.
Since Alan's flight home leaves Monday, this was his last day of work. We've had a great time working and visiting with him. This week we've had 72 years of block laying experience on site (Barry with 30 and Alan with 42).
As it turns out, Barry and I will have another work day here on the island. Dan Irvine is scheduled to come from Port on Monday for a retirement party for 3 of the Wesleyan Mission employees. He has chartered an MAF flight for return on Tuesday. So not only do Barry and I get to work another day; we also get to travel back to Port with Dan.
