Workshop build progress

Barge boards fitted to Upper Hutt end of workshop

A huge effort put into the workshop over the weekend of 4-5 October, all four barge boards lifted up, flashings fitted and soffit installed at the Upper Hutt end. We're very close to completing the roof - which will be a most welcomed milestone in this project.

The weather was patchy at best, but thankfully not as bad as was forecast, and we got a huge amount of work done. Thanks to all who helped out!

We're now able to clad the Upper Hutt end wall - the ColorSteel sheets on site ready to install.
