Today in pictures, here is the concrete base in Tarlengeni where the house will be built.
We spent the day at George's house very nice house in Zizin, complete with workshop and a very good set of tools etc.
Steve and Avram took some of the huge pile of wood, which has been purchased since we have been here with the money raised, to the nearby village of Tarlengeni. He was back safely later in the morning with no mishaps!! His horse was called Stella.
After lunch Steve was back at the centre, varnishing.
Meanwhile, Walter and Jack, with a little help, spent the day making 14 wooden panels which when put together make the walls of the new house.
George made us feel at home in his garden, and the impression given by these pics is of a very nice house, he built it himself, and now uses his skills to work for Better Homes.
You can't work with George for very long before having some fun and laughter!!
That's him still in his orange T shirt, but he tells us he has about six T shirts all the same. His wife Simone made us cups of coffee throughout the day which was very nice.
By 3pm today all the 14 panels were made and it was on to the roof timbers. The Romanian for roof truss is yet another word that Dad could not find in his handy pocket size Romanian Phrasebook. But we quickly got the idea and tomorrow its our job to make another 7 just like this one!
George says it's no problem!
So that's it for today, goodbye for now
