So the roof is finally taking shape, which is great news because the rains are finally here. One downpour last week nearly flooded the ground floor of the children’s ward, but the quick action of the staff prevented any disruption! Other developments saw the plastering of the internal walls and the preparations for the finishing of the external walls. We’re hoping to see some quick developments in the next few weeks because we’re chasing the deadline of Christmas. We’ll miss the official deadline due to unforeseen problems early on in the excavation, and the Christmas shutdown of all building trades will slow things down, but realistically, once the roof is on and the plastering is complete it will look almost finished in the photos. We’re wrestling with a few electrical layout decisions to ensure the finished space is as usable and functional as possible. Next of course is the final fit out which will hopefully be attractive to private patients, nurses and customers in the cafe.
