Bit By Bit - First Floor Concrete Done

Finally, after about four days of delays, the builder was able to get his crew together and start on the first floor concrete works. The delays were caused by the structural engineer delay in approving certain aspects of the work that needed to be done before the concrete could be cast.
With the concrete now act, there will be a period set aside for it to set properly before the block work is done for the first floor. So far so good. I must admit, I am very excited. Not being there during the build process "saddens" me, but I do plan of making a trip back to Accra very soon and God willing I will be able to spend some time watching the rest of the building progress.

I have asked for a revision of the Project Timeline. I expect that to be ready by Monday [13/06]. The builder roughly estimated August as the month in which the roofing works will be done. In the past, I have paid the building each segment of the payment plan presented by him in full. The payment plan has been divided into four sections. The roofing payment represents the third part of the payment plan. This time I plan of paying him half of the full amount and pay the rest when I get to Accra.

Was usual, the builder has sent me some videos and pictures of progress being made at the site. I have done something different this time. Using FotoMagico, I have put together the videos and pics sent to me by the builder and used that to tell a short story.
