The roof has been almost entirely covered with corrugated steel on Bank A. Bank B has all of the trusses up and should be covered with steel by the end of this week except for the last 30 feet or so on each bank.
The foundation for the washroom block across the back is started and we should see block walls going up shortly. They will then tie the three roofs together with new trusses and complete the "U" shape of the building.
Construction is on target for a November completion. Everyone here is getting excited and it will be ready for students and teachers in the new year.
Tomorrow I will try to add a picture with the roofing steel over much of Bank A.

These are very heavy trusses and it took about six very strong construction workers to lift and set them into place.
The man in the middle is Fonoti Felisi Brown. He and his partner Fiti own F&F quality Construction. With him are his construction Forman and the electrical contractor. As you can see the trusses are almost complete in this picture.
They made an interesting jig for constructing the trusses right on sight. One was built and nailed onto the jig/table and then each successive truss was built on top of it so that they were all identical. The gang nails were all hammered in by hand.
These pictures are only of Bank A of the school. Bank B is just about one week behind. The walls went up quickly and the window frames installed.
