One volunteer make the differeance / 'n Vrywilliger maak die verskil

Besig met die instalasie van die tweede helfte van die hout rame vir voorste glasmuur.

1. Na almal gesê het ons sal nie die voorste glasmuur op kry nie. Het ons 'n stelsel ontwikkel sodat selfs 'n vroulike vrywilliger dit enkelhandig kan doen. Dankie Amanda.
2. Eerste twee vensters is in.
3. Die staatmaker span, Frankie en Danie van Antwerpen.

NS: Watter span is die sterkste?

-o0o-----

Busy installing the front glass wall frames.
1. The work is easy enough for a female volunteer to do. Thanks Amanda.
2. First two windows are installed.
3. The team packing up after an excellent week of hard labour. After action satisfaction.

PS. Do not tell anybody she was wearing an Blue Bull shirt.

Mind power- krag van die brein

With good design, two pulleys and two excellent workers.

Met twee katrolle, 'n goeie gedagte en twee goeie spanlede.

Against all odds - die wonder van die Sonskip

Wonder 1: Ons bou 'n huis sonder gebakte stene.
Wonder 2: Ons bou 'n huis tot so vêr met slegs 3 sakkies sement
Wonder 3: Ons plaas dakkape wat langer as 8 meter is sonder die hulp van
enige apparaat, slegs die krag van drie persone.
Wonder 4: Ons plaas die voorste glasmuur-rame sonder die hulp van enige
steigers of masjien, slegs die krag van drie persone.

Against all odds, we build a house with bags filled with dirt.
Against all odds, we build a house so far with only three bags of cement.
Against all odds, we installed 8 meter long trusses with out machinery and
only the power of three humans.
Against all odds, we installed the front glass-wall frames without the
machinery or scaffolding and only the power of three humans.

Front glass wall - voorste glasmuur

Currently we are busy building the wooden frames for the aluminium frame
windows. We do not build this on site, but at my home. Here you can see what
the components look like.

Hier sien julle die eerste venster in die houtraam van die voorste glasmuur.
Ons het eers die houtrame gemaak waarin die aluminiumraam vensters gaan pas.
Voor ons na die terein gaan, maak ons eers seker dat al die rame die regte
grote is.

Interesting photo taken on the shortest day of the year.
The midday sun shines 5 metres into the house.

Hier skyn die son 5 meters binne die huis in, terwyl die son glad nie in die
huis skyn op die langste dag van die jaar nie.
