Renovate good times come on!!! Doopy Doopy Doop – It’s a RENOVATION Share

June 17, 2014 East Africa Bush Tails

Hello Lamai friends!!
Don’t panic but we’re back in the bush and we’re frantically knocking stuff down and building stuff up again.

1

There is gratuitous use of tractors and I’ve taken the opportunity to finally squeeze some tractor photographs into the blog – who doesn’t love tractors?

Exactly – nobody!!

2
We are planning on removing this before you all arrive this season.

3

Check below for the resulting shiny new pool deck, whooop!
4
Mzee Apaeli – sweeping said pool deck with a big smile.
5
Doing his best Dick Van Dyke impression – What can I say… he just digs Mary Poppins!
6
The star of the off season show below – introducing Mr Kennedy HEAD OF MAINTENANCE (red T-shirt)!

He’s currently extending the dining deck at the front of our “mess” (that is more an accurate description than a military expression at the moment!).

The extension will allow the waiter team to spend the season dancing around the tables with out falling off the edge…. and here they all are below, just look at how happy they are about it.

****Note to the upper management types, you’ll notice they are NOT sloshing wood finish all over their shiny new uniforms, we have this thing overalled and covered, taped up and corked!****

Here I am below, playing hang man with myself so as not to get under the six very busy feet of Jana, Yahaya and Kennedy.

Ha Ha, only Joking……. I’m playing Naughts and Crosses.

*****Note to my boss – I promise to be once again clean shaven with a tucked in shirt when our guests arrive****

8
Roof repairs – in terms of the view this is the best job in the Serengeti.

****Note to those involved, you know who you are, please don’t tell Jo (beloved interiors lady and the creative mind behind Lamai) that we climbed on the roof like this – she said it was a bad idea.****

9
****Note to Jo, if your reading this firstly, wow thanks for reading the blog that’s really cool, and secondly we’re sorry we climbed on the roof like this – but it turned out great and nobody fell through or destroyed anything!!****

……and finally for those of you about to un – subscribe due to the outragous beginning of season maintenance blog with it’s lack of fuzzzy, furry, wet noseyness ……Drum Roll Please….

Our mongooses had babies!!! Again!!!

I found them scurrying around underneath the office this morning – Ahhhhhh sweeeeeeet!
