Solution to Night Noises Problem

The top picture shows the new, concrete base for the tank that was leaking. The tank is laying on its side in the right side of this picture. The whiter sections of the concrete are the blocks the huge plastic tank was sitting on. There was no solid support for the bottom or center of the tank. It sagged, bagged and started leaking from cracks in the tank and from the stress it put on the plumbing connections. One connection is the "L" shaped gray pipe in the lower left portion of the photo. The other is directly opposite, against the brown portion of our compound wall. Sikuru Yusef, the plumber, had the solid base poured and sealed the bottom of the tank.
Sister Krupp, in one of her African dresses, is standing to the right of the tank that leaked. The tank on the ground is more than twice the capacity of the one on the concrete block stand in the left of the photo. This area is the back side of our Mission Building. To the right are cages that hold the outside portions of the Air Conditioning units and the propane tanks that provide gas to our kitchen stoves. Everything is locked up in a cage in Nigeria. Small cages for A\C and Propane, larger cages for Senior Missionaries! This compound is our cage.
This is Sister Krupp patting the injured tank, wishing it a complete recovery. The leaks created a large puddle of water in the area now filled in with concrete in the top photo. The frogs that made the horrible noise were attracted by the water. For more than two weeks we heard the noise you heard in the "Noises in the Night" posting on this blog. It was not good for sleeping. This picture gives you a closer shot of her African dress. It is very comfortable and colorful, but you would never find it at Macy's!
Bottom line. The noise was frogs.....not birds, shouting at each other. This is the end of one more or our African sagas. (Pres. Neuder was hoping the frogs were large enough for catching & eating.)
