There are numerous projects going on at the same time.  This is the beginning of the wall that will create a separate computer lab in the library.  The man on the left is William Jumba the carpenter and his two helpers on the ladder and table/chair.  Jumba does an unusually good job given the tools and equipment he has to work with.  The drill is one I bought and loaned to him.



The wall is made of raised panels top and bottom and will eventually have metal grill work in the middle to secure the computers.  Jumba hand grinds his own jointer blades to make the raised panels.  Yes, I said jointer.  Notice the wedges on the top right and left.  The ceiling sags 3 inches in the middle.



We are also replacing a water tank outside the dining hall to collect rain water.  This is the concrete base for the tank.  Notice the banana leaves being used to help the concrete cure slowly.  There are new gutters being added to collect the rain water.  Right now we have lots of rain to collect.  We are having heavy rain almost every day.

  1. Hello, Jim and Donna. It was good to hear you are nearly ready to begin mounting panels. I have been wondering. I lost your address but you son was in church and I was able to remember and retrieve it. Hope you are both well. WPU is still running but is missing you.
