500 posts and lots of bamboo

Quantity of material is increasing considerably now that work is going to be done on the first floor. An estimated 500 uprights are needed to prop up all formwork and floor section on the 1st floor. These are made from the trees received.

In addition, scaffolding must also be provided for this, thick bamboo stems from the forest are used.

frozen away

At night it freezes so hard that the road, wet from the water coming from the mountain, freezes. The result is that it still thaws a bit during the day, but soon it will be impossible for the trucks to drive to Sailung. To this end, it was decided to quickly have additional stock of reinforcing iron, cement, sand, grit and bricks. All this to be able to continue construction as long as the weather permits.
