I might start this news off be apologizing for not posting the first part about the project to all employees at XDIN. Furthermore: writing in Swedish bad manners on my part! Remember: forgiveness is a virtue.

To bring those who missed out up to speed I'll make a short summary: We're building 3 houses of which 2 will serve as home for 60 kids and the 3:rd will be used for school and administration. We've just selected Contractor to make the buildings as described in drawings submitted to them. (That was basically it back then).

So, what's happened since last time around?

As the initial designer has been replaced by another company some question-marks have arisen. As some land-slide might occur at the property the opinion that the foundation needs to be reinforced has been expressed. Furthermore the design of beams for roofs and floors has been deemed, by the current designer, to be designed in insufficient manner. These things are some of what we've tried to get sorted out last 2 weeks, we now have a design we believe in.

The actual construction has started somewhat at the sight and a rough time-plan has been submitted to us. Now: We're keeping up the good work!

On a personal level: Had I known before I left how much vegetables and how little meat I was about to consume in this period I, probably, would have felt a bit unsettled (some of you know me) It's also peculiar that such a vast majority of people I've met has chosen to express the same opinion, namely that I'm tall.

All-and-all life rolls along nicely and the project is evolving in accordance with the plan.

Well, that's the story for the moment.
