From our man Mike in Zambia:
The roof is on the bathhouse. The floor, partition walls/stalls, and plumbing are the major jobs remaining. Next week the sewer pipes should be installed. I think the septic and soak away will be completed within two weeks. The interior walls are "looking good" (hard to tell in this picture) and will be finished in one or two days.
My Visa Card strip was not readable at the bank in Lusaka. Neither was another card I tried. I will try again in Livingstone, probably Monday. Hopefully, the bank teller just made some mistake. The card swipe system is fairly new. We used our money to buy what we needed (good prices on some of the plumbing) and will reimburse later. Barclays Bank has opened in Kalomo. I tried to get information on charges for electronic transfer of money from The States to a bank account here, but they didn't know. I may try withdrawing money in Kalomo today.
Blessings, Scott
