The build - day 1

After a lovely introduction to our family and sharing arig (horse milk) and cheese with them in their ger that was next to the build site, we had a brief safety induction and were then issued with our gloves and hard hats.
It was a full day of cement mixing and brick laying. We paired up in teams, learnt the tricks of the trade from our Foreman called 'Doggy' and began our day.

The family joined in too with the father a construction worker and mother very very house proud making sure the front of the house looked perfect! Even the kids joined in, squealing with laughter and helping to carry bricks.

By the end of the day we had successfully laid 7 rows around each side of the house and started the insulation process.

A good first day by all!
