Photo - Building the water tower



This is the building of the water tower. The wooden poles are the scaffolding which move about when they are stood on. The tower is the concrete post in the middle and then they put a flat concrete base on the top where they place the water container. For a few days they pour water over the concrete to strengthen it. As Pamela, James and their workers have gone away for a few days, the neighbours (women) are watering the concrete. It is strange to see women climbing up the rickety scaffolding dressed in elegant saris. Colin was hiding in the house in case they asked for his help. I don't think the 'scaffolding' would support him!
