We’re Having A Barn Raising!!!!

Kind of.

I’ve only ever read about them in books.

You know, where all the farming neighbours gather and put up a barn.

Of course, times have changed and we’re actually paying our friends to put up a shed.

Kind of.

It’s a fundraiser for our church.

The guys from church are here putting up a shed that will become our games room.

SQUEEEE!!!!

I’m pretty excited!

Here we are early in the day:

After lunch, things really started to take shape:

Of course, you can’t have a “barn raising” without some good old-fashioned home cooking.

Lemonade Scones for morning tea:

And White Chocolate Cheesecake with Raspberries for Dessert:

Gotta keep those volunteers happy! :)

We also had marinated steak rolls for lunch with onion and coleslaw which went down well.  And party pies and sausage rolls at morning tea.  Funnily enough, they didn’t stop for afternoon tea.  I think I fed them too well!

And as the sun began to set:

shed-end-day-1

Not too bad for a days work.

Some of the guys are coming back tomorrow and hope to get it finished (or close to).

Then we just have to wait for the concreter to come and concrete it out.
