Yes we are still in Jamaica! It isn't like we're lacking things to do... About a week ago I finished helping out with the Baths of Joy project which was helping to restore a wash area in Trench Town, a small town next to Kingston. Naturally I was involved with the plumbing side of things, wether it be the sink piping, the showers or an indoor bathroom in a broken down theater.Only 30 years ago, a walking distance away from this place there was a "no man's land" where you couldn't walk across without getting shot. It still is a run down deprived area but the people were curious and relaxed about us being there.
Ben (a fellow plumber) helped out the first week and I got to go the second week, in two weeks we cemented, wire brushed, painted, installed plumbing and got to know whom we worked with!
This is the Baths of Joy in its final stages, we stated that the water pressure was insuffisant for all this and are in the process of contacting the local water distributor to hook it up to the main line, which will solve this. If asked what I'll miss the most of this experience I'd say (jokingly) that I'll miss the smell of weed coming from the local workers whom we worked with...
