Setting of the RAU Road Sign

On By Jacob LeeIn Building Projects

We have put the road sign together and set it.  It was very heavy. It took 10 of us to carry  it and put it in placein. No cranes here in the bush of Africa! The Earl Moore family made the frame for it  back in Seguin Texas. Thank you Moores! It had a long ride and wait in the container but it made it! They did an excellent job and everything fit together well. May the Lord use the sign for His glory!

Deep holes were dug for the posts of the sign. The guys had never seen a post hole digger and they quickly fell in love with mine.
