Job of the day is rebuilding a shed at the home of a hairdresser. She now has her shop at home after it was destroyed. Her home is up on a hill, but from the earthquake her shed got damaged and so did everything inside. Volunteers before us did the job of clearing the shed of it's contents that had been damaged from rain. So here we are. We split into three groups. Most of the men went up to work on reinforcing the roof. Half the girls worked on part of the shed that needed the walls boarded. I worked with Yumiko, Ayako, and Dan mixing cement. Actually it was a cement, sand and rock mixed together. We used a wheel barrow, shovel, and our gloved hands to mix it.
Airin, Lisa, and Rebecca doing their measuring and cutting, then putting up the boards.
The cement mixture went to the back of the shed to re-cement the ground.

The home owner was so kind and appreciative, she came out to give us iced coffee and tea. So yummy and refreshing! It was really nice how gracious she was, she came out to say hello, talk, and thank us a few times.
A view of the yard and fence. I love hydrangeas, it was part of my wedding bouquet.
