The roof is getting installed!

Community support

The Roche community has becomingly increasingly involved in every aspect of the health center construction. In collaboration with the Roche Health Center Committee, these friends and others have been lending their hand to get things done in the final weeks of construction.

Interior plaster

The intended goal of bringing daylight deeply into the building can be seen along the edge of this wall.

Plastering the ISSB

Though everyone loves the look of the ISSB blocks, for long term protection, we need to plaster the blocks where they will be exposed to heavy rains. On the interior, we need a thin coat for protection as well as to increase the daylight that will reflect into the space through the louvered openings in the exterior walls.

preparing for the roof

The construction crew has been working incredibly hard to get the roof completed before Richard leaves on November 18. Photos show the sheathing with integrated ventilation at the bottom and top of the roof. The sheathing was painted and topped with roofing felt and then purlins to support the metal roofing.

Coke break

A well-deserved break for some folks who have been working long hours.
