Neighborhood update

The neighbor across the street fixed up their place with the proceeds from the sale of land next door totheir plot. First, one of the brick houses got plastered and a wide veranda added to the front. Then a new brick house was built,with an iron sheet roof. The man who will live there, Martin, will park his boda in my compound. We will trade for boda rides I think.

They dug out an area and planted grass. I don't know if they will put in flowers or not. Guess we'll know later.

The big building project adjacent to them is going steadily. Workers come 6 days a week,often even in the rain. The foundations have been dug and flooring in part poured. It looks as if it will be a large apartment house.

AND our main road, Kiwafu, has been graded from the busy Ggaba Road (which is tarmaced) all the way around past the quarry and up to Tank Hill Road where the tarmac ends! There is a rumor out that Kiwafu will also get tarmac on it soon, after the water pipes have been dug up and replaced and the electric poles moved that are in the road right-of-way. Since the pipes are in place from Ggaba Road past my place now and they have already been working up the hill by the quarry, perhaps the paving will happen by the end of August.
