On Monday, 26 November, the roof was poured without major incidents. The day started customarily late, and after less than five minutes the concrete mixer fell of its stand – concrete mixers are quite heavy, not least when they are full of concrete. It was quite a miracle that nobody got hurt. It was soon restored to a better position and restarted. After about twenty minutes the bearings holding the ‘tub’ gave out and only after an hour of welding did the pouring get properly under way.
At about 8:00 pm the roof was complete, the Sardar and his women on their way back to Dinajpur and our masons ready to use the leftover concrete for making concrete slabs. Concrete slabs are always handy to have when there is a hole to cover.
