The rainy season continues with a vengeance with only intermittent work possible Monday through Thursday, and Friday a complete wash out as a particularly active Tropical Wave passed over St Lucia. The picture above does not show it very clearly, but the sea has changed colour with all the soil that is being washed down from the mountains. We hope that Sabina will bring some better weather when she returns next weekend!
You can see from this picture how much rain has fallen in a week. Kenrick is keeping it in the pool as there has been a major leak in the local water supply and he is using the rain water for mixing concrete etc. People who rely on the national supply for domestic use are having to bring in tankers in the middle of the wettest season the Lucians can remember!
Work has commenced on the form-work for the external steps leading to the kitchen door.
Having removed the ceiling planks from the crosswise fixing, the carpenters are now well on the way to completing the longitudinal fix.
The erection of the pool railings has commenced.
The remainder of the railings are under construction in the Living Room.
The covering of the Master Bedroom floor is almost complete and hopefully next week I will be able to brush it clean so the true effect of the colours will be visible.
The plasterer's team has been very much reduced, but the one who remains has completed the stone work at the top of the wall beneath the guest veranda.
There is a Public Holiday on Monday - Emancipation Day - and the weather forecast for next week sees yet another Tropical wave marching across the Atlantic. It's a bad time of year for the building trade!
