For the last two weeks I have been stuck in the bathroom and have hardly left. There from the morning until midnight most nights, and rarely a moment to eat. What has happened to me? Some exotic disease or a severe case of the runs? Nope. Building.
From virtually nothing we have made a bathroom in only a few weeks. Most of the time I have been working alone on the project, although at times Fabian and others have come along to help out. Their help has been invaluable. The following photos tell more of a story of the development of this new part of the Prayer House…
Tues 11th: Gabriel and Juan Pablo prepare the concrete for the roof.
Tues 11th: Helping get it up to the roof.
Tues 11th: Fabian loads the roof with concrete over the foam bricks.
Tues 18th: Nothing beats matches as a gap measurer for tiling.
Tues 18th: Fabian tiling the shower walls.
Wed 19th: Putting in the window. It is held there by cement.
Thu 20th: Grouting the shower walls.
Thu 20th: Lorena helps with painting the walls (yep, white walls).
Thu 20th: Ernesto puts the dividing wall in between the shower and the bathroom.
There are more photos of how the whole thing looks as it is mostly finished… but I forgot to take them. Doh. They will come in another post later on as tomorrow I am heading towards Peru (also another post yet to come).
