Construction has begun on the new property!  I guess I should clarify “construction” because yes the barbed wire fence has been installed but now I’m talking stone and mortar.

The wall that will hold the gate is being built while the gate is being made (hopefully I’ll get photos of that progress this week) –

Foundation was laid the day before now to begin the wall

This is looking at the new property from the farm...the building is a private school just behind the property

 

...until the cows come home - actually these cows are just going out for the day but we did end the day when the cows came home!

Water, right now, is plentiful and readily available for use in construction...glad Bosco has those great white gum boots 🙂

The "fundi" (craftsman) working on the wall

in between each line of stone barbed wire is laid

 

Chuck and Bosco measuring out the needed barbed wire

time for a chocolate break

Rod's gift has been very helpful and Roman was a bit worried when he couldn't find it

the fundi lays another line of stone

tools of the trade

it's getting higher!

 

the "supervisor" takes a break...ok, those are my boots!

done for the day but not complete yet

and the end of day conversation between Chuck and Lewis

 

And as is my modus operandi here are a few random shots –

Brian, a neighbor, checks out the construction

 

almost can't see this dragonfly he blends in so well

I seem to be fascinated with the stones at the property...so many different colors

will need some sort of lawn mower (goat, cow etc.)!

you see? So many colors of stones

There’s a look at the beginning stages of Caring For Kenya’s Kids property.
