Serious Construction Happenings Continued

The first picture shows the trailer being pulled out. The man I thought had a black shirt must have changed it because it looks blue in this picture. What do you think? He is the guy on top of the green and white trailer. He will hoist the wires that are too low for even a tall van. This contraption would be in serious trouble without the "cable lifter". Either that or all the wires would be down.


This picture shows the cable hoister doing the thing that scared me the most. He has a set of wires on a stick. The trailer roof was steel. All he would have had to do would have been to drop it and it would have lit up everything.

He had several of these to lift before they were successfully out on the big street to the North of us. It is called Opebi Road. I think you can find the junction closest to the Mission Office and our Apartment on Google Earth. We are just south of the junction of Toyin Street, Allen Avenue and Opebi Road. There is a major Round-A-Bout where the three of them meet.


This last photo is the crane truck backing out after every thing is done. All in all it was pretty amazing. It took about 3 hours, total. We were made aware of the start of the project by the inordinate amount of noise. The truck and the crane made their share of noise, but the locals raise their voices to soccer stadium volume when this kind of an event starts. You can hear the locals above the noise of any equipment.

The yellow shipping container next to the crane is a storage unit for one of the Missions. It is used for all kinds of records and misc. storage.
