Blue skies on Saturday morning
and a full team of volunteers

First cuppa for the Treasurer
or he's useless!

After the torrential downpour on Friday night we arrived on Challenge Saturday morning to blue skies and warm sunshine. Once the kettle was on we set ourselves the task of completing all the demolition work during the weekend and starting the rebuilding process. We need at least half of the engine room wall built so we can start installing the framework for the new power system.

 

All weekend volunteers rip out
the old framework

By mid morning on Sunday we had completed our demolition work and were ready to start building the new framework for the walls. Whilst this was going on we took delivery of the timber, wall boards and insulation. Also our specialists were busy stripping out the old wiring which are like a London tube map!



We have ordered all our signs and logos for this project, which we are expecting in due course. In the meantime we mounted a temporary sign on the door. This created local interest and we shown around two local groups and one from Australia. The later kindly donated £20 to our charity.
