Walling-Up
The temperature has really started to drop as we head up to the hall for another edition of ‘grafting-for-kids’.
Rachel starts the trip with her camera in hand as she’s become a little obsessed with the Highland cattle in one of the nearby fields. I’m not sure what it is about them she loves so much but I’m sure they’re delicious fun to work with.
I’ve made a start removing the plaster from the walls which, with a little persuasion from my SDS drill is now totally covering the floor which me and Rachel cleared just a few weeks ago. And that’s only the start of it.
Adam isn’t quite as bothered about getting stuck in this time around and is content to tend to the fire and get creative at the old table which the church left behind. It’s actually strange to feel any warmth in the hall as it’s the first time we’ve had it on since we got the keys!
Emily is getting her hands dirty though and while I’m up the ladders with Donald walling up the beams from the inside, Rachel and Emily are working wonders. Adam eventually succumbs to the cold and decides to get moving and we all come away filthy but fairly pleased with how we’ve done.
This is going to be a long build given we are only available ove
r the weekends and the occasional week here and there so we need a way of making it a proper family affair otherwise I’m never going to see the kids.
So for now, me making a mess and then bringing in my very own cleaning crew works for me!
