Social Center Part 13 (Week 6)

Ok, so for 4 wks we made great progress as we waited for the Town Council to approve and purchase the doors & windows.

And week 5 (last week, Thanksgiving week, see Other Stuff than Social Center post) I shut done work on the Center. To save money on salaries since there was very little to do and since Masinga basically likes to work getting a lot of stuff done in one day, instead of bits and pieces. And there are lots of bits & pieces to do but nothing major.

So Monday morning of Week 6 is coming tomorrow, I am going into the office and we are supposed to be able to get the Town Council's money for their part of the project. It has all been approved and should be ready to go. We will see.

And the first serious negative issue regarding the Social Center, someone cut through the fence and stole a few pieces of the electrical from the circuit breaker box. No damage (other than fence) just a thief doing his thing. It was easy since there were no doors or windows. Sucks but when it was reported it my have had an unexpected benefit of hurrying the town council to work everything out quicker. Its Sunday night and we will see what the next week brings.
