The truck arrived today with the metal frame parts around 3 pm along with a car full of guys who unloaded it and started assembling already (its 6 pm) That's the reason I was cleaning the summer kitchen- they will be staying there for the next ten days. That's right- our team of Ukrainain builders will overlap our team from Steinbach for about a week. There will be a lot of people around here!
Garry is at the bank as he was taking Josh home (he was a our sub translator for the last two days) Victor had to head to Dnepro to meet Garry because he was having problems getting the money he transfered out of the bank. They are concerned about his registration for his visa not being done yet (it has a couple weeks yet before it legally needs to be done) So hopefully they get it straightened out. Victor has been working with a team doing a project a couple hours from Dnepro so we had Josh (who we know from Summer English Institute here.
Anyway Josh was a great help while Garry was working with his guys from the village on leveling for the cement pour tommorrow, and with the gas line guys who came around lunch on Tuesday to raise the gas pipe over the driveway so that trucks will be able to drive in. I have photos- they cut the line with a grinder and welded the new pieces in- all without turning off the gas in the line. They did have a fire estinquisher handy, one guy would stand at the ready while the other guy worked. There were some flames too. I have photos, I'll try to add them later in the week.
Update: Garry arrived home after dark, and all is well. At 6:30 Thursday morning the barn assembly guys were up and at work.
