A start made on the weatherboard






Around 20 people fronted up on Saturday to begin on the weatherboard. After the day one of the volunteers commented that "weather board is more complicated than you think isn't it?" I think getting started is the most difficult part, and we made a good start on Saturday. (Dave and Martin have been up today (Monday) and arranged things so that it will be easier next Saturday. ) Thanks to all who fronted. We had some great food and some new faces. Lily was one of those new faces and she said, "I'll be back! I'm hooked!" Great stuff.

#1. Some people get dressed up for Habitat! (Actually one inconsiderate couple wanted Dave to marry them on his Habitat day.... they need to sort their priorities!)

#2. Double trouble. Christine and "she's da man" who does "man's stuff"!

#3. Weatherboard started on one side.

#4. How many people does it take to put the first length of weatherboard on?

Answer: 5 women and 3 men! Very efficient we are.

#5. Early morning preparations.
