Day One and five volunteers came down - Phoenix members Kevin, Paul and Daryl and College of Northwest London construction students Ibrahim and Chaban. It may seem a long way to come (from Dollis Hill) but 4 CNWL construction students have said they will volunteer on the project - the practical experience will look good on the CV's.
Kevin got on with plumbing in the bathroom in copper, Kevin seems confident he can get the next set of kitchens cheaper as flatpack - which is good even though we are already underbudget on this. Steve (the Site Manager), Daryl and Paul variously at one time or another assembled kitchen units, made concrete to patch up floors. Steve demonstrated how to apply bonder to the areas where the plaster had been removed from the walls (due to weakness) - Paul, Ibrahim and Chaban took turns following his instructions - the next job is to skim it with plaster.
More people with plumbing experience would be good - we have five bathrooms and kitchens to outfit and more people with carpentry experience would be good - we have 5 kitchens to fit. If you don't have these skills? Come on down anyway!
