Moving tanks started with Luckner disconnecting plumbing
This was one very busy and interesting day. Watching Luckner and his crew remove the tanks, and by hand get them down one level, then over the side of this house to the ground, and back up the side of the new building was amazing. When they were being pulled up the side of the water tower building one man stood in a window opening on the new building and supported the tanks with his butt, to prevent them being damaged on the side of the building. I found this huge job interesting, amazing and funny. One thing I know, without Luckner it would not have happened.

Almost there
Great job Luckner & team
Today I went up and down the stairs to the top of this house and to top of other one far more times than I can count. Too, I went through everything in storage in the room (former office) at the top of this building, organized it, and had it carried down one level. Reason - when the floor where the tanks were is knocked down there will be no roof for that room. We will use the plywood, window, and door elsewhere. I needed to get the room emptied in case they start knocking it down tomorrow. I feel totally exhausted and at 9:00 p.m. am going to my tent. It is raining but not hard tonight so hopefully we will be okay.
Getting the last tank moved tomorrow will be swiftly followed by the knocking down of that whole floor that housed them. When that is done Ti Luc and I will once again be able to sleep inside. We have been sleeping outside now for five months so not sure how Ti Luc is going to adjust to going back into his bedroom. He sure likes being close to his mama.
Good night and God bless everyone. Karen

Wow! What a job! It always amazes me how Haitians do things. I am always amazed and impressed! What looks like it is impossible to me is really only a small challenge to them! Congratulations! It will be good to know they (water tanks)are gone and to be able to go back to your bedroom....can you get in it? I bet by now it is full of stuff and will take you a day or two to get ready again.
BOB here
It,s about time you get your little butt in that house .
It should be ok now for you to be in there. nice to see. God bless
Oh Karen! I am so glad to see it all finally taking shape! Glad to hear you won't be in a tent much longer! I can't wait to get back there in December and play with the kids again!
