With good weather (14 to15deg at night and 28 to 30deg in the day), we spent the week in lot 3000 (out back at the new antenna site)
With the dingo and the backhoe, we drilled and dug holes and then the hard work began - chisselling the holes square with crow bars, shovels and jackhammes, and shaping undercuts at the bottom of the holes to double the effect of the concrete.
We all have blisters on our hands, sore legs, arms and backs, and a great sense of acheivement.
The scene looks a lot like how I imagined Kalgoorlie would be in the gold rush.
Our kids had a go at the jack hammering and also Lex had a go at driving the backhoe (under close supervision) what a great experience for them!!!
More volunteers have arrived and the whole place has begun to hum with renewed enthusiasm and joy.
This weekend, we have had the pleasure of catching up with old friends - Peter and Beth Bailey.
We also heard that Bill and Joan Grosser are coming through as they catch up with families here who have been training their children using 'Growing kids God's way'. Joan's auntie was instrumental in giving HCJB the land here.
