Team House
We had hoped the next post would be completed projects but the fact is we're excited about how things are coming along and wanted give an update a little sooner than planned.
So the second floor will remain open for the time being. We are looking at the budget for a roof but it will work either way. We've got to connect the water tanks and add railing since we won't have walls for a while.
Paint was finished 2 days ago, inside and out.
A very low priority but we will add the planter box the side walk.
Back rear corner. Air-conditioners went in yesterday.
Out front still a bit of a mess but the kids should have that cleaned up this afternoon.
Inside actually looks like a real house now.
Notice the abundance of fans.
Bathrooms on the left standing in the very small kitchenette looking towards the front door.
A little crop on the bath room their still painting the ceiling.
New larger electric wires were run from the street as well.
All of our drainage around the property is now in pipes and covered. No more weird smells and fewer black muddy dog prints in the house. ;)
School Location #1
At the old school some changes are under way as we are really fighting for space this year.
Our "closet" class room for grade 10 and computer room. The walls have come down to make a larger single class.
So grateful to Mr. Mow, he has as so much work going on as we do.
Doors were pulled from grade 10 and was added to 9th grade class. The original door was on the end of the building which split the class weirdly in half and was also very rough with the morning sun blasting in. This will make the class much more practical.
Still needs some paint though.
Summer Jobs for some of our kids.
SreyWut is teaching English class for a couple weeks.
Tate's English class with the bigger kids.
New School Location #2
2 Kindergarten classes
We did have the roof put on but are still working on the funds to enclose it, if we can pull that together we will also have two 1st grade class rooms here as well.
6 Bathrooms being installed on the left class rooms.
Tong and Yong have been also working this summer. They've been working with Mr. Mow get through his demanding schedule. Young been working on the bathrooms while Tong has been helping tear down the wall at the 10th grade.
The paint is going on today.
My project
Chicken coup is gone and shed erected to store all of our seasonal stuff.
Knocking things down is always fun for me. Once we pull out the rest of the old pig pens we'll start making plans for future ball courts.
For the ball courts; besides funds we are also waiting for the land to settle which may take a while.
The pond was here so we want to make sure we give it time to rest before laying a pad on it.
Gardening is going well. First fruits from the beds have been eaten with pride.
Reams herb garden is doing really well this year.
We've got zucchinis coming over the trellises. Also we've got 2 grape vines growing.
When we were in the US a couple years ago we picked up some flower seeds. One of them was a viney flower called a Cotton Flower I believe. Well it really was the only flower that grew and it's doing so great. It's slowly covering our fences around the garden and pool.
