Update on the playhouse

As you can see the playhouse has come up pretty good. Although I am not happy with the speed of things, the kids are tickled. There have been many things that have taken my time from the playhouse. One of those things came as I was watching baboons teaching there kids how to high dive into our fresh water drinking tanks. Some of you may have known that we were very sick last month and now I think I know why. So I have put a hold on all projects and have started a stone sealable water tank. I hope we will be using it by the first of may. We brought 10 gal. of water back from Nairobi this trip to drink. It cost us $40!! The funny thing is I guess we did not know how much water we drank each day. We have consumed the first 5 gal. in less that 2 days!
Check out the awesome sandbox underneath. Sand to come this week.

This is another project we have started. It is a fuel/cement store. We will be able to get our gas drums away from the side of our house and into a safe lockable building , as well as keeping our cement out of the rain. This project has been put on hold as well until the water tank is built.
