Project Report | Mar 3, 2017
Final stretch... again???

By Nikki Buxton | Managing Director

Rat colony for raptors (in waterbird house!)
Rat colony for raptors (in waterbird house!)

My sincere apologies for the late report – I was really hoping for some excellent news and photos and fanfare… but alas, a little longer it seems.

Having sourced the structure for the enclosure in the shape of a very generous donation of 30 power poles from the local electricity company, we are now faced with a new problem: how to transport 30 x 40’ poles to BBR. We know it’s way more than we need, but we are not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, and we know we can use them in many other ways for future projects at BBR.

The quote for moving them is $450. We checked several people and they all said the same. It is what it is. So having made the decision to go ahead with the transport, we are now dependent on the ‘just now’ of Belize Time, which could be any time from a few days to several weeks.

I am so sorry to have to keep extending this project:  every time I firmly believe this is the last report before the final fanfare, there’s another hurdle. I really do hope to follow this up with better news in the next week or so. I am so annoyed with myself, I am not even going to post a picture.  Actually – I could just show you what your waterbird house is being used for right now – just so you know it’s not a totally wasted effort. If you’re squeamish or love rats as pets, look away now.

Once again, our undying gratitude for your interest, support and encouragement and will definitely talk soon.

Best,

Nikki and the BBR Team

onwards and upwards!
