Milestone 2 Mylpaal

Ons twee de inspeksie het goed gegaan. Die agter-, oos- en weste-muur van die aardskip is voltooi tot op dak hoogte.

The second inspection went well. The rear, east and west walls are complete
up to roof level.

Baie dankie aan almal wat gehelp het tot dus ver. Ook spesiale dank aan Renus en Andre vir hulle raad en bystand.

How to fill an earthbag - So maak jy 'n sak vol met grond.

Op watter ander bouterein is daar mense wat vrywillig werk?

V.L.N.R. Dup, Hennie, Jaco, Willem en Jacobus

At which other building site in Orania will you find people that volunteer? We thank Dup for the fantastic work that he did. Our team is the best.

Ons bedank Dup vir die goeie werk wat hy gedoen het. Ook bedank ook die res van die span vir hulle insette. Die Aardskip-span is die beste span!

We have reach the top! - Ons is bo, van nou af begin ons om gereed te maak om die dak op te sit.

... nog net 'n paar rye aardsakke - just a couple of course earthbags to go!

1. Aardskip binne. - The small wooden poles indicates the position of the roof supporting poles.

2. Vooraangesig. - Front view.
We have moved more earth behind the house. This will assist in laying the last layers of bags. - Daar is nou genoeg grond bo om die laaste sakke te vul.
