Staff move into brand new Alltnacriche housing
Friday, January 13, 2012For those of you following progress on the staff housing project - be encouraged (or join the general sense of relief) - we've made it!
Water was finally connected on the 14th and by Friday we had
eleven contractors on site checking plumbing, finalising electrical
checks, commissioning the solar panels, putting the carpets down
and backfilling all the craters from the joints at the new water
main connection. Work continued over the weekend in the final push
to complete the houses.
Following a visit from building standards on Monday, we received
confirmation that our completion certificates were being issued on
the 20th. All the washing machines, cookers, etc are now installed
and the keys have now been handed over and Rhoda, Morven (photo
above) and Alan (and his family). They will be moving in at a time
that suits them in the coming days - but there is already at least
one Christmas tree up!
This time last year the project was out to tender, and we were
unsure whether we would have the funds available to build one or
two units. We are humbled by the goodness of God and his people who
have enabled this project, and we give thanks for
them..
