and the builders said, "Let there be slab", and there was!





The photos that you see here are the reflections of my amazement at the difference between the state of affairs on the School building site yesterday (Monday) and this morning.


At 9.30am yesterday, we had our own private swimming pool in the front driveway. By 3.00pm yesterday it was raining tigers and elephants (as you can see from the photo, the rain is far too heavy to be dignified by something as insignificant as "cats and dogs"). By 9.30am this morning, there was "slab"! The premix trucks had been on site since 5.00am (along with Raju, who took his leave to go home and change when I arrived) and the lads were finishing off with some mixing and dumping of their own. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised, but I have been watching the work proceed in such a low tech way up to this point (the photos on facebook with the guys using a waterfilled piece of plasticised piping for measuring levels are instructive here), that the difference in the scenes I was witness to yesterday and today was indeed amazing.
