Building in Glencairn. We started by digging two trenches that would eventually be filled with concrete and be retaining walls. The retaining walls would strengthen and anchor the structure especially because of the slope. The big trench depth was 41/2 meters in depth and 21 meters in length. a lot of digging! The view from across the valley of our empty, sandy plot. Now begins the steel work (Expensive) Then the shutter boards and boxes... And finally the cement. (Also expensive.) Our amazing crew of builders was headed up by John and Dicky. They are from Malawi - men of caliber, integrity and strength. Preciouse, Lobson, Timothy and Steve. Finally, sfter a LOT of concrete - the main retaining wall is finished! Mischa is watering the cement.
