We actually had 3 worksites going, and we got so much done we helped on the foundation for this 4th house as well.

We bought Vern a new motorcycle sign and he let me have his - though he didn't understand that I thought it was 'art'.

Hi Lucas and Jacqui. i have only just now been alerted to your blog (Mon thought she could keep it all to herself!) so i am working my way through from the begining and loving it - you are true adventurers! I am fasccinated with this work you have done with Habitat and next time you are planning something similar (post honeymoon) i would love to try and coordinate with you both so that Mon and I can try our hands at it as well. I hope you are both keeping well. xxJules(and Mon)
