We had a very special team on Saturday with Perry bringing along Oscar and Gracie, our two youngest bees yet—and what fabulous little worker bees they were—carrying buckets of gravel to cover the drain behind the wall and then moving lots of clay!! (take a look at the photos!). We will miss Perry and the children when they head off to Montpellier in France soon.
Damian turned up unaccompanied by his usual two staunch helpers, Harriet and Frankie, who had other commitments. Hey girls, We missed you both!!
I think Damian is about to trump Grayson as the master hole digger!
Augusta (who has the misfortune to be my daughter) got pulled away from completing her NCEA assessment to help with the gravel.
Of course Michael and Denise got stuck in again, and Mark came along later with Victoria so I set him to work helping Denise excavate his favourite corner!! I want to get that corner safely closed in next Friday, so getting it ready was a great help.
It was a great relief for me to see these stalwarts turn up as I had a deadline to meet for family commitments— but we got all work to complete the end of the wall and backfill done by 1.00 PM. ( Well we went 15 minutes over—but I got back on Sunday for a bit of a clean-up).
I have not finalised the programme for next weekend— BUT THERE WILL BE JOBS TO BE DONE:
The Gibraltar board etc. is being delivered this Tuesday so there is some carting to be done if this is not done before Saturday. We may have to put out a special mid-week call if the weather turns to muck).
Pretty exciting getting to the home run!
Regards to all,
Rex—for the renovation team
