The major work on the project at the moment is with the exterior red
ceramic bricks. This has proven to be a slow process to get the masons
to work to the desired consistency, quality and design. The severe heat
wave of the past few weeks and now the monsoon rains have made for
difficult working conditions. Some interior electrical conduit, rough
plumbing and plaster work is still ongoing, however this will be caught
up with the exterior brick masons within the next few weeks.<br />

This past Saturday the final major slab casting was completed. This
is a monumental milestone for the project as it was the 14th major pour
over the past 15 months and the completion of <strong>162,000</strong> sq feet of slabs.
With this work completed the remaining phase 1 interior work can be
concentrated on. The contractor and our team are all excited about this next step in construction.<br />

Bangladesh has many seasons (even now after 2 years I still don't know all the seasons - up to 8 some people say) and every season seems to be a good time to plant some crop, especially rice, however the most common season for planting vegetables is the winter season when the air is cooler and dry. This is when we are able to grow our gardens and enjoy the many vegetables not commonly available in the markets here (sweet corn, broccoli, sweet peppers, lettuce, French beans, Brussels sprouts, garden beets, Swiss char, cherry tomatoes, peas, and so on). It is always exciting when the first crops come in and we can enjoy fresh salads and freshly steamed garden vegetables. We are now almost at the end of our personal garden season, yesterday afternoon I collected a few of the remaining veggies, however the market is still full of other good produce (carrots, tomatoes, pumpkin and other local veggies) Watermelon is the favorite fruit of this season as the weather is starting to get hot and they are easily available for about two months.<br />

Our last full day away we spent in Kuta, Lombok which was a lot of fun. Eating good fish, scootering around and some final surfing.<br />

Up and down the coast there was a beautiful untouched beach at every cove. A lot of fun on a scooter exploring looking for waves at each place. (too bad I don't know much about good surfing waves)</div>

Rinjani Crater Rim Trek<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
After a few days on the beach we were ready to start exploring inland by foot. As it is the rainy season (thankfully we did not get much rain) there are very few people on the trails however a number of trails were closed due to the risk of rock slides around the volcano. We did the Crater Rim trek which is a beautiful hike starting on the rice terraces of the lower volcano then into the coffee and coca bean plantations before heading into the park jungle (with all of its wildlife) until we reached about 2,000 m where it opened up into beautiful grasslands. From the crater rim you look down into the crater with a very large lake and the active cone with Mt. Rinjani in the background. Heading South to Kuta, Lombok for our last day/night.<br />

Holly and I grabbed a fast boat from Bali Island to the Gili Islands. It was still about a 2 hour long boat ride through the open ocean so it was fairly rough, but still quite enjoyable with the warm sun and views. We stayed on Gili Trawangan and enjoyed some great snorkeling as we biked around this small island. Heading to Lombok for trekking to the Mt. Rinjani crater rim.<br />

now understand our expectations and standards - along with no
significant equipment failures. Only two major slab castings (both
roofs) remaining on the hospital.<br />

<br />
When I was home in PEI this summer, the soccer team I've played with for several years (Winsloe Senior Women's - Globe) graciously let me join for 5 weeks of summer league. I heard the club had an excess of some relatively new jerseys they didn't need/want and my coach Grant helped me fill my car after a game. Jon and I carried several sets (over 100 jerseys) back to Bangladesh.<br />
<br />
I have been holding weekly sports classes (with a focus on soccer) for the junior and senior girls over the past couple years. We may have a language barrier but we have fun and the girls have been improving and enjoying practicing their skills. I handed over the jerseys at a school picnic for a photo op with some of the girls. The kids are just starting a new year of classes after exams and holidays. I'm looking forward to meeting again this month.<br />

Merry Christmas and Happy 2015! <br />
<br />
We enjoyed a few low key days over the Christmas holidays. We hosted a family of 7 who are currently living in Chittagong for language study. It was fun to have them and so many other guests who visited for the holidays this year. We played games by the fire, ate lots of chocolate and cheese straight from North America, went on elephant rides, played sports, and rang in the new year with an annual jump in the pool.<br />
<br />
Missed ya family and friends back home!!<br />

This past week our direct supervisor (Bill Hanson) and an Architect (Tim Hunsicker) that has started to work for the Project Office were able to make a visit to the project. It was good to finally meet with Bill for the first time in person. We have been talking on the phone, Skype and email for over two years now. It was a good time to review the project status, budget, funding, design, safety, etc.<br />

Quality management is a big part of our job here in Bangladesh as project managers for a large construction project. From the supply of raw materials such as sand, stone, cement, and bricks to pipe, electrical components, doors, and windows to the installation of these items and construction of structural slabs, columns and brick walls. It is a constant theme. It particularly can be a challenge in a country where this kind of thing is widespread.<br />

<br />
Well I recently played victim to poor product quality when I purchased a couple packs of balloons. It even had an English warning that I missed "Fake Product with Bad Quality & High Defects". While trying to blow a balloon just a little bit bigger it exploded on my eye. I'm fine but it was sore for a few days. I wasn't a big fan before this event, but I think I'll be swearing off balloons forever now....<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Grid
power in Bangladesh is sporadic at the best of times with regular load
shedding (power outages) due to the fact that electrical demand is much
greater than the available supply, especially during the hot seasons. A
year ago November the hospital was able to obtain a priority line that
has reduced load shedding on average a couple hours per day which has
been a great blessing. Even with this new priority line voltage
conditions at the hospital have been consistently low (regular brownouts
with voltage as low as 150-180v when designed to receive 220v). When
the voltage drops below a certain point the campus generators would have
to be turn on so that medical equipment, hospital compressors and even
florescent light would work properly. In order to fix this issue a new
voltage regulator was purchased for the hospital which will correct the
worst of brownouts and supply the hospital with required voltages. This
new AVR is of special importance to the new hospital building as the
proposed Oxygen & Suction machines, Elevators, Chiller, Medical
equipment, etc. all require stabilized voltage. Over the past month this
new unit has been keeping the voltage very stable. (One can not tell
the difference from the generator supply or grid supply vs previously
when the generator was on lights and fans etc. all ran about 25%
brighter/faster.)</div>

on Nov 15th & 16th the First Floor East Wing slab casting was
carried out (Lab, Pharmacy, ICU, Offices, Training room - 12,500 sq ft). This time of
year (November until March) is the best working conditions for concrete
pouring, no rain and milder temperatures. This made for the smoothest
major casting to date. The goal now is to complete the next three
casting of this wing in just over a month per slab (35 days each).

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the last leg our India trip we traveled through Northeast India on our way to the Bangladesh border. The highlight was visiting the Cherrapunjee area in the District of Meghalaya, one of the wettest place on Earth (it holds records of most rain in a single month - 9,300 mm and single year - 26,461 mm). The Khasi tribal people make up the majority of the population of Meghalaya and are a matrilineal society (females inherit land and children take on the mothers name). Christianity is also prevalent in the region. What drew us to the Cherrapunjee area was the amazing tree root bridges that have been grown here by locals for hundreds of years. We had a fun day of hiking and exploring. It was an interesting place to experience and an enjoyable way to end the trip. </div>
