We are very pleased with our  SEA (Sisterhood Empowerment Academy) progress so far. As you may know, construction tends to be a bit slower in the islands. There are a number of factors why this is the case. However, with our careful attention to eco-friendly design and process, we knew that it would be an educational process for all. Overall, the SEA project has been a very progressive one.

Phase 3 of the SEA building process included completion of the following tasks:

  • Prepped the 40′ shipping container for storage and occupancy
  • Examined hurricane resistance structuring with cost considerations
  • Building the foundation with concrete footings, columns, and flooring

Our builder, Vincent Powell, has been commended for careful attention to our green building strategy-read more about it HERE. For example, we utilized a lot of used materials, especially wood, to save our trees and other natural resources, plus reduce building costs. Using the shipping container was also eco-friendly and cost-effective.

Phase 4 of the SEA building process included completion of the following tasks:

  • Flooring was completed
  • The water catchment system was expanded
  • Exterior walls were framed and erected
  • Materials were secured for roofing
  • More local contractors and reuse materials were identified

Princess, the SEA kitty, approves.  So far, so good!  Next… the roof.  We anticipate completion of Phase 5 by the end of November 2015.
