Imulama well

Things were going well at Imulama where we are putting water on the site of a health unit, thanks to the Rotoract Club of the University of Victoria.
We made over 600 interlocking bricks with the compressing machine and five bags of cement. They will be used in a demonstration wall.

Although we hit 'hard formation' the diggers persisted in chipping away. Then at 70 feet we hit a large rock. Nothing for it but to blast. Rod spent the morning out there on Saturday while they inserted the dynamite, then packed the hole. Here is the result. We will know later this week if it was successful.
