Dividing Walls_Prep

Even though the student research team left the island, work on the future EKFM radio studio continues at full pace. Getting the first hull of the roof completed was a huge step toward completion, so the work that remains is much more focused on non-structural dividing walls, doors and windows, and finishings. We are very lucky to have EK Radio presenter Nancy "Naz" Sungu who has agreed to take photos for us to document every step along the way in our absence. We thank her greatly for putting in the time to send us photos everyday.

front, middle and rear divisions

middle block wall completed up to 29" (desk height)


meanwhile, Mike welds the front door/window structure

very quickly the structure is complete, installed, and just like
with the roof, welders mesh is put in for the ferro-cement infill

as work progresses on the front, the structure for 
the rear wall is installed too
