Bricks

9:32 pm | Edit Post
Some of you will be aware that we have been raising money to build the SIM pastor here in Djibo a house. Well, the work has begun... by making the bricks. Normally one would buy bricks in the town, but due to their very poor quality we have decided to make our own -- or should I say I have employed certain individuals to be responsible for the production of bricks. As we have quite a bit of land around our house we have decided to have the production line in our yard which is very interesting for our youngest, and today saw the arrival of the sand and gravel lorry (which nearly took the gate of its hinges on its way in and then lost the use of its forward gears whilst in the yard) and the first hundred bricks we produced.

We will aim to keep folk up to date on the progress but we promise that this will not become the main focus of our blog for the next few months as most people don't find brick making as interesting as our younger son does.
