Well the Canadians had ordered the roofing iron, or 'tin' as they call it, a couple of weeks ago and we have been waiting for it to arrive. There have been a number of phone calls made and promises broken by the supplier and D day was looming. The Canadians are due to leave tomorrow - Friday and yes the tin finally arrived Wednesday afternoon while we were at Nsobe.
So with one day to go, it was all hands on deck. The guys put in a mammoth effort and the tin is on! Phil and Sam, along with some very able bodied Zambian workers, will need to put in another day to finish things off.
There was the obligatory Christian builders celebration of coke and mars bars all round. We also had a special lunch with Zambian construction workers and will say our final farewells to most of the team early tomorrow morning.
Pictures tomorrow I hope...internet failing and battery almost done...no adaptor at the moment.
