Hello,
this was a very, very BAD trip, everything that could go wrong went wrong; But it was also a very, very GOOD trip, everything I planned to do, I did, so end good all good.
When I arrived early friday morning toghetter with Godfrey from Aqua Tech everything looked very much ok, only dry, very dry.
Reason Godfrey was with me ( I picked him up in Kampala when coming from the airport) is, he had to measure for the HDPE tank that have to go in our tank of 45.000 ltr that we were going to construct.
Still on friday I contacted the "builders" and they were starting next day. I still had bricks and sand I only had to go for cement.
Saterday I spend most of the day inspecting the land, tree's, bamboo, animals and looking for the best place to build the double house for my workers. Not to far from our house, so they can watch it, and not to close, for privacy. In the end I choice a place about 25 mtr from our house, that was a good place because I diddent had to cut tree's ( thats a sin) only some bushes.
This is the place were the house will be.
In between enjoying a nice big mango.
I was very much surprised with my biggest orange tree, about 25 oranges on it. We have 10 more orange tree's but much smaller 1 of them have 4 oranges the others nothing but they are groing.
Fundation digged and first brick's delivered. They were finishing the tank and started to work on the fundation.
Than the first of many things went wrong! Rain came with hail, not a lot at first but after 10 min it became a flood, we wanted rain but not this much, i had river's on my land. And yes it happend, one of the walls of the tank collapsed by the pressure of the water.
And the fundation of the new houses was under water. So we knew what to do the next day.
After draing the water from the foundation they finished the foundation. That was the second thing that went wrong. I put out all the measures of the foundation but they removed all the ropes because they work on an other way than I do. Ok they are the builders! But when they were finished and I came to look, I saw rightaway that there was something wrong, they put the left fundation a half mtr to far inwards. I gave them a drawing with all the measures! So next day they had to start again.
In the meanwhile they finished to rebuild the tank and we wait for the HDPE tank to put in.
This was my first week and when I look back now it was ectually the most easy week of the 3 weeks.
One of this days, weeks more.
