Here we go...

The wood has arrived and the water tanks are coming tomorrow closely followed by a group of Dutch, Belgian and French volunteers who will spend a couple of weeks camping on site and helping us get the roof on. I love volunteers.
I was reading Kirsten's blog (pinkhammer) and she said something like "work out what you think it will cost, then double it and you'll be pretty close". I am now discovering the wisdom of her words as things like 26cm long screws and other little bits that we never even imagined existed start to come with 200+ euro bills attached (bills as in invoices - I wish they were banknotes) .
Anyway, from this week on I will try to keep you updated with photos and stuff and hopefully we will be weatherproofed for the big October/November rains. More soon!
