Block drains

We started to get ready to go out and do our calls, but then the shower started to back up and ten years of hair balls floated up, bathroom sink to blocked up, , found the 4" outflow from the house was blocked up near the ditch in the grass, cleared that, nasty'ness came out  but shower tray still blocked, I tried plunging it with a mop, no success then managed to get a pipe off outside, and rodded it with a thick hosepipe, still no success, then Abbi downstairs, had water dripping off our pipework that goes through her bathroom downstairs, I decided to renew an elbow fitting, so biked off, it then decided to rain, got the bits, rained on way back too, stopped raining when I got back then found out there's at least two types of solvent weld 1 1/2 pipes on the house, fortunately it changed to the right type by the elbow, found similar size pipe in the stores under the outside stairs, replaced it, gunged up older joints, and hoped for the best.
Everything here is badly built and unless you rebuild the house, you just do what's necessary to get by.
But adds to the experience, good news we didn't catch any germs,

Quickly Built Kingdom Halls

I've had the privilege to be able to help on two builds so far, Guyana qualifies for the Kingdom Hall assist Program, so for me to work on Halls in the UK, it wonderful too see how this program really helps here, where the local congregation struggle with everyday expenses they would never be able to afford the Land and the Materials, to build a Hall to such good standard or size.
They are still about 17 halls to do, and a Assembly Hall, right across Guyana, we visited the Reliance Congregation, they meet at a Brother house, and they spill out onto the Veranda, it gets very warm inside too.

At Reliance there's 1 pioneer, and the congregation is swamped with studies, people are coming up to them asking for studies, so it will be Huge help and relief for them when they can dedicate a Hall in the territory for the coming expansion

Me and Fern went to help at Queenstown with the roof, it is done differently here, and the Health and Safety is a little questionable.

No escape from the sun up here

Fern Making the Braces for the roof trusses

A lot braver than me

 I declined to work so far past the wall plate, especially when doing the porch area cutting the spar ends off, with a circular saw, sitting on the spars on the overhang 5' past the wall plate, the Local Brothers are more used to doing that

Everyone survived

The Team moves quickly, but the night came too, they wanted to get the Tin on as well so work could carry on inside with the walls,hope to visit again or be of help on the next one
