FFS!.
I shall not post anymore about our build..We are paying a company. We don't set the going rate for work in Oman.
I posted it to show that we in the west have no idea how tough life is for some people. That earning £12 a day for heavy labour is
1/

better than the alternative in their own country. So what is life like there for them?
Some have been here decades, with wives & kids at home.
These guys are well cared for with accom & medical cover, & we are doing what we can to make life easier for them.

Comparing against western standards it is shocking to us, but I can rent a house here for £200 a month. Power is 2p Kwh, Water is 4p a gallon, Gas is £4 for a large bottle, heating not required & we ate a big meal for £4 last night.

I wanted to show how skilled these guys are. I wanted to put in perspective the realities outside of the UK.
Ads all over tv about "have what you want this Christmas"
It has humbled us to realise Mr R & I are entitled & spoiled, it has put life in perspective for us.
END.
