Monday was ceiling day at Onesua

start time 07.30  pick up workers in

Vila an drive 1 hour to Onesua college

we should have gone at 5.30am

50 sheets roofing boards

We asked Onesua to pull out all the small nails

so that we could get straight to work on Monday

it cost 2 hours extra work because it wasn't done

 😒

I wasn't too happy 

Not all the classrooms need every sheet replaced 

so we replaced those that needed, to be replaced.

We got home at 8.00pm (late night)

This is the box of school items from the 

Rural Women of NZ which they

sent in Sept 2016 

being delivered.

Also boxes of books that came from

a Library in Alexandra NZ.

The power company are connecting the

new power cable to the kitchen container

the cost of connection was 62,000 vt = NZ $815

after discount I got it for 14,000 = NZD 184

Not a bad deal I thought.

Hopefully it going to be working on Monday!!

Plenty of rain from Tropical Cyclone Donna

I have been able to get a power smart meter installed

for the 20 foot containers

power supply

I took a van ride today and their was a

 sound coming from the 

front wheel , which was the steel beading 

flapping on the road as the wheel went around.

One of the staff was able to get

a bargin from at the second hand store 

thanks to Maebry & Graeme who left 

the torch/radio behind.

In Port Vila the streams became large rivers

On Monday while TC Donna was hanging around I was able to

clean a newly purchased second hand fridge.

I got up  early this morning to cover 

the windows to make sure the rain

doesn't come inside as

the cyclone is coming south now

We discussed a new policy for all staff

to protect their work station in cyclones

and it worked !!

They all gave me a written procedure 

in case of cyclones for their station.

 I will present the policy to Senior Management next week 😊 

Computers/ printers covered

Today at 8.30am the cyclone is coming south 

hopefully she remains at sea and doesn't

make land fall, as it passes
