Pictures (Top to bottom, L to R) 1. Bricks from old church in excavations for foundations. 2. Deep footings, in places 3.5 metres deep. 3. First fill of concrete. 4. Final 'fill' and 'pads' ready for steel structure. 5. Ground levelled, view from 'Imams' position. 6. As 5 - view from opposite corner.
What a month we've had. Ramadan was very successful on two counts. The foundations were completed, and we raised over £200 thousand. Monies have been pleadges for the bricks (complete), stone (still available @ £285 for 10 sq metres), blocks (complete), concrete for the floors (still available at £150 for 10 sq mtrs) and Musallas (Prayer carpets - still a few available @ £70 each inc underlay and fitting). Why not take part, see our main website for details of how to make a contribution.
The pictures tell the story so far, we now await the steel structure, erection commences 12th November, and should be completed in two weeks (this includes the concrete stairs as well), therafter, the ground floor will be laid by the end of december, with the drainage, roof and first floor in January / February. We hope to start the walls and brickwork in March (Insha Allah).
Keep making duas that the progress is speedy and without any hitches.
