Perhaps this will not sound too exciting, but this week the workers removed the bamboo supports in the basement:

It may not look like much but to me it is a thing of beauty. Why? Because I lived through everything from the clearing of the land, to building an access road, to drilling concrete pilings into the mud mud mud….
It’s a victory to have a concrete slab floor, columns, beams, and a floor above the basement.
And work continues on building yet another floor.
