Today was the first full day of work here in Luganville. The hospital project is coming along, with paint removal, soffit and fascia replacement. The steel for the roof is a day or so away from delivery. An interior wall that was scheduled to be removed to make a waiting area larger turned out to be a bearing wall, so some more thought will need to be given to this part of the project.
Gary worked out at the ranch today on the electric generator that had failed. After testing of generator windings it was determined that the Automatic Voltage Regulator was in fact faulty and in need of replacement. After replacing this board, the generator ran fine. We will run it extensively in the next two days to verify that this was the problem.
Tim and Simon and family went up to Big Bay today to meet with officials from the nineteen villages that will be affected by the proposed road that Friends In Action International will be working on later this year or early 2011. As I write this they have not yet returned. Will report on that tomorrow.
Pictures are pretty scarce for now but we should be posting some in the next day's post.
Looking forward to more posts.
