Moving the sign

Each day starts out with various work assignments. Matt gets a list of tasks that they would like to complete by the end of the day. He moves from project to project trying to keep us on track and helping out when he can. Today, he did work on the signing moving project.

Today, we had a canal project, minor brick building of a drainage wall, moving a sign, putting in a new post for a light, working in the nursery bathing the children and playing with them. When the projects are complete we go and ask who needs help finishing other projects.

Peter, Ben, and Paul were assigned to sign moving project. They had to dig a hole about 5 feet in diameter and about 4 feet deep and pull out the old post. The old post was in a hole about 5 feet in diameter and about 4 feet deep. They also had to mix the cement for the new hole and break up the cement around the old pole and move the pole (about 12 feet tall with the sign) to the new hole.

This sign was in front of the nursery where the two girls were working in the nursery. For some reason the children were making up songs about Ben, Paul, Peter and Matt.

I was not at the work site when the singing took place but from what I was told everybody was having a great time and it made the work go faster.

The sign got moved and it looks great.
