Work is in Progress for the New School

Timber Yard

5 Trees were felled in the jungle and bought down to the house whist we were away. The guys mark the logs with string loaded with carbon from an old disused battery. Then they cut them square with an Axe so...,.

Once square they saw them into narrower 

Lengths like so.

Quarry site.

Is a steep bank, so steep that crops are not grown here but there is a section of sandstone exposed. 2 Nepalis work full time breaking the rocks from the quarry and stacking them ready for volunteers to carry away.....
the drop off disappears to oblivion below....

....  to a site close to the school site. The millet is still growing at the school so for now we stack up the rocks nearby.

The rocks are carted like this and its actually really comfortably;e way to carry heavy loads

.... And this.....,

.....and this...

It takes a big team to carry every day :-)
