Dumsor! That is what we experienced today. Dumsor is the energy blackout that happens very often here in Ghana. So, if you are planning to schedule your working week or organize yourself before a deadline, than be sure to include dumsor within your list! Apart from this, in the early morning, thanks to Joshua, Samuel, Michael and all the guys of the welding workshop we tested all the hubs assembling a portion of the dome. The result has been definitely satisfactory! Meanwhile Paul prepared the windows and door frames, which are calculated in order to ensure ventilation. The upper windows will be fixed whereas the bottom ones could be open. The reason is that with geothermal cooling we will only need the outlet at the top of the structure. The heating will go up extracting the fresh air from the underground pipes. Unfortunately this strategy could be only pursued in an empirical way.
At the site, we went on digging the trench for the underground pipes and Eric the teacher kept working on the wall with Jonas, Dustin, Ernest and Morupo and we faithfully look forward for them to finish by tomorrow morning. Only one blocks course left. Hope dumsor won’t be still between our time here, only 3 days left, and the project completion!
