Work Completed Today:
Lined out tunnel #1 floor on Mud slab. Tied bottom mat.
Since I don't have pictures of the work done on Saturday, I thought I would share the pictures of the fun. Aziz's son was born on the 7th of this month. On the 14th a lamb was killed for the baby and an Imam (Muslim Holy man) blessed him. We were invited to dinner on Saturday night to eat the lamb and celebrate the Baby. The baby's name is Jade. The 4 course dinner was delicious!

Daily Project Report
Weather: Cool and rainy in the morning
Temperature: 76 degrees
Work Completed Today: Tied steel in collection pit walls. Started excavation on tunnel #2.
Poured mud slab for tunnel #1.
Owner/Engineer directives provided: Robert and Doug confirmed go ahead on tunnels #1 & #3.
Other Notes of Interest/visitors: Mr. Chafiq said he would talk to Betomar about concrete price. He gave us the go ahead on tunnels 1 & 3.
Without a forklift, we hand carry the bar to the tunnels.
A daily occurance is men, young and old, coming by the site to ask for a job. The most we had was around 30 in one day. Now it has slowed down to 3 -5 a day. We will have several stand outside the fence surrounding the excavation and just watch us.
Our guys and the 'Blue Man Group' working in the collection pit.
The watering truck.
The Blue Man Group Passing bar to the pit.
Mud slab pour.
Going down into the hole.
Darryl and the Dome crew.
Getting out was a bit of a challenge.
