Construction Continued....

It has been a week since we started on this journey. They're making great progress. Today they started painting the kids bedrooms. I haven't taken a picture of thier rooms yet, but I will after they leave.

The picture twords the middle is how Egyptians mix cement. Right there on the floor.

It has certainly been an adventure so far!

The Big Stairs Project

We decided to go ahead and do the stairs. The workmen came on Wed and got started, they moved all the furniture and put up plastic sheeting. Then on Thursday, they brought the jack hammer. It's such a mess. They kept making the hole bigger and bigger. Yesterday they came and hauled away all the concrete. It takes about 10-14 days for the stairs to be made so we have to deal with a hole in the ceiling.

Apparently, buildings here are meant to last for 100 years. Lots of concrete.

The last 2 pics are from upstairs.
