Verse 15: Taking Care of Business

The project almost doesn't run without Robert. Because of the riot, for two days Robert couldn't get to the project as the roads are blocked off.

I was sick of waiting. It was only two days ago Robert and I were discussing the floor plan for the main floor of the community center. We needed to put up a few dry walls to make a soup kitchen and a main entrance. Drawing the floor plan from memory, I initiated the building. Myles and Guillaume were very supportive and offered much needed assistance, Anna wasn't totally against it.

As the construction took off, we ran into problem after problem. When Robert did show up the next day, we only had to make minor adjustments to our work. At the end of that week, the phase one building is complete. The walls are perpendicular and the corners right; these are the results of measuring four times, cut once.
