An Update, brought to you by Matt

Believe it or not between all the Safari fun we are actually working. Last time we talked about the project I was assisting on the new Residence building and Lazuli was working in the Quality Control Lab. A lot has changed since then....

Here is what the Residence looks like now, it will be completely finished in the next month or so and handed over to Bethel, with this project complete the focus will be one the new Warehouse and the remodel of the existing Printery.

What have we been working on, well after a while working on the Residence Building they called me and said now you will be the Construction Home Overseer. I thought the Home what? That doesn't sound constructionee at all ??? But I said I would be happy do whatever I was asked to, so I got to work. Basically it involved making sure that the 150 or so people on Construction have a place to sleep and food to eat and comfortable at home. A big job because you can never make everybody happy at once.

I had to wear a tie, this was the first day on the job...

They had another brother and a sister to assist me. It was a lot of work and a lot of learning, but after about a month things started to come together. In the mean time Lazuli was moved to the Electrical Team as their Secretary. (That's right the Electrical Team while I was playing with House stuff) This was new to her and she was able to learn a lot on the office side of  Construction. 

Lazuli and the sister who trained her in Electrical 

After a few months as Home Overseer things were going fairly smoothly when I was told that now we could hand all the Construction Home over to Bethel Home which left me jobless, I wondered,"where will I go next?"

Of all the crazy things I was assigned to Electrical, so Lazuli and I were on the same team together, we were both very excited. 

Our first safety meeting together on the Electrical Team, I was still wrapping up a few Home things, hence the dress shirt...

We had a month of bliss working hand in hand, but alas it wasn't to last. It was Lazuli's turn for a new assignment, off to the Tool Crib. What's a Tool Crib? Well instead of each trade having common tools such has hammers, drills, screwdrivers, they combine them all together and check them out as needed, the advantage is less tools overall and they get maintained and cared for properly. 

 Here is what the girls started with...

And here they are now with it all set up and running, don't mess with these sisters.

As for me, now I am doing Quality Control for the electrical installation on the new Warehouse, the contractor hasn't really gotten started yet so I have been doing a lot of studying of plans and prep work because once they start it will get very busy. The warehouse has changed a lot since the last pic we posted.

Here is a pic from the same spot as the ones I posted in October.

This one is from the inside on the opposite end, it helps you appreciate just how big it is.

This one is taken from top of the concrete structure.

The whole Warehouse has to be complete by mid-November, all the Mechanical trades will start in the next few weeks and from then the chase will be on....

We also went to Kruger, on unassigned territory and moved rooms, so we will see what Lazuli wants to talk about next time.
