A Progress Update (Part 1)

I have not sent a blog for a while, so here's a progress update. Proof that I'm still here! And that the work is really being done. This is part 1 of 2.

The renovation.

We started by removing the old roof. This initially took a lot of time mainly because the men thought they were being paid daily. So they work slowly hoping for as many days work as possible. When we explained it was a contract they had signed, it was amazing how they speeded up. As you will see from the next few photos. They struggled to clear one side of the quadrangle over two weeks, then after six more days, they had cleared the roof on three sides and scraped all walls of old plaster.
