The Roof

Well here is how this story goes.  There is a Health Clinic in Bowe, which was in shambles about 2 1/2  months ago.  A group of 11 came from Texas and we restored the inside of the clinic.  After we left the priests and the locals finished up the job with a few extra things inside, making the clinic useable.  At the beginning of August another group came, this time with 2 doctors.  And we used the clinic to administer medicine to the villagers. 

With that being said this is how we left the building.

As you can see the main joints on the roof got sealed to prevent water from leaking in.

But this was not enough.....

There were still many holes in the roof.  So this Tuesday Timeyo and I, after breakfast, got up and we had 22ish cans of sealer.

The sealer is the nastiest stuff in the world.  It is like tar.

So we went up to the roof around 8:30 and started work.

First we had to clean the roof.

Second we had to Primer the roof.

Third we had to seal the roof.

It was very interesting, throughout the day different villagers would walk up and talk to me asking my name and chatting for a bit.  Father (Little E) said that everyone was timid to talk to me but they wanted to.  And so they took the chance as I was out working.

This whole process took till about 3:30 in the afternoon since it was only two of us.  but the clinic's roof is now sealed and everything inside is protected from the rain.

I ended up only getting impaled by a rusty piece of metal and ripping open a blister on my hand.  So I need to wear better gloves next time I guess.

The finished roof all sealed up.  The end is not sealed because it is not part of the clinic.  But we have extra cans of sealer left (we went through 18 5l cans and we have 5 left, so we are just going to seal the last part on Monday).
