Social Center Part 3 (Day #2 Secured)


This first door.


The first complete window



So the first major step in finishing the Social Center has been meet in only 2 days.

And that step is having a secure room at the Social Center. Since the building had no doors or windows. It was impossible to store anything on the site (or for the teachers). So now two windows with glass with burglar bars (by the way Burlgar bars are standard on most every house, over here) and door with a lock have been installed. Making the room secure. So no longer have do we have to store tools, supplies of site. Making life a lot easier and should speed up the morning since we wouldn't have to wait for tools to arrive. They will already be there.

Lots of people are stopping by to see the activity and the answer is pretty unanimous that is it about time that some work began on this White Elephant.

So it seems the neighborhood is appreciative already.
