at last! people who know what they're doing

Volunteering has picked up with people coming in having useful skills - painting and decorating Akani and Hazel, plumbing Sten, carpentry Pat - please come back again soon you were all great!

Chris has temporarily shut down no.10 (which is pretty much painted and decorated) so that we can concentrate on no.7 (which still needs a lot of work). no.14 is finished and people are already living there, no.5 (the site office) still remains to be done.

More people have also been coming who have no building trades skills but just want to help out, eg. your humble narrator. Our thanks go out to Ray and Martin who've been phoning around. While there are still a lot of the more skilled tasks to do there are still lots of opportunities to learn things - your humble narrator has tried his hand at plastering (as did Tony during his visit)and tiled his first bathroom wall in no.10 (with creditable results).

More photos soon.
