Here is Cheryl inspecting the outside toilets.Alan has sent us some budgets for the next stages of the building - the windows and doors are nearly complete.
1. Plumbing: we have a detailed item-by-item quotation for everything from WC pans to connecting to the mains; it includes a lot of things that I haven't a clue what they are! Like "elbows", "nipples" and "tees"... and what on earth are "get-values"? (We apparently need 25 of those!) But the total bill comes to £3,400.
2. Electrics: Wiring, switches and sockets, and a threefold Solar Panel. Total: £4,300. (We had a quote for the electrics last October for only £3,000; Alan will investigate why this is so much more.)
3. The big one: Plastering and tiling: about £18,000. This is not an actual quotation, just a "guestimate".

We already have nearly £15,000 in banks in the UK; we will send this out in stages as Alan authorises it. But it looks as if we will need to go on fund-raising for a while yet to find the £11,000 or so still needed.
All donations, invitations to speak, or suggestions for fund-raising ideas or sources welcome! chriscjenkin@aol.com
