We did it... we started!





In spite of predictions the sky was blue and the sun was shining today. Nine volunteers turned up on site. We did very well. Gravel was spread around the main traffic areas. Protective fencing was put up. There was some sorting out and tidying of the containers. Dave's throne room (site toilet) was erected. The profiles were done and it is all ready for excavation work for the foundations. The only black spot was that Elizabeth got hit on the head by a falling toilet wall! (Dave's fault) It is just great to make a start! Well done team, in spite of the cooling wind you worked hard.
