Shamba/Baobob house building update!!


I left Tanzania with the house not yet finished but everyone was geared up to finish the walls, both inside and out. Here is a picture of a big work crew on one of our last days.




BEFORE: sent from Teri in December 2009. Arches for doorways and windows are complete, now all are awaiting the roof. Maybe 2010!!



AFTER

2010 New Year's update from Kyle... interior firebrick walls visible and cap placed on walls. You can see the half wall for the outside, graywater shower system started. Im not sure how the design will work in regards to privacy. We simply had buckets and used banana leaves for cover. Oh the long lost days of air drying!
