Left to Right are Andre, Sean, Justin, Dale, Andre, Donna and Deirdre.
Notice in this picture Deirdre is all taped up. She had just returned from being away due to an unexpected surprise injury. Seems during the first day of plastering, she contracted an infection in her finger from a whack on the ladder, which required hospitalization and a trip into Ottawa to visit a plastic surgeon. As there were no beds available in Ottawa, they sent her back to Perth. But there were no beds in Perth, so she was discharged with home-care. Which is rather funny as her home is the same as ours right now. A trailer on-site. So, she had couriers delivering medication and nurses showing up to hook up her intravenous antibiotics that she had to stay hooked up to for several days, and was under a no-work order.
That meant Hutch became the plaster mixer. I was the sole runner, but as I could not get it up the hill fast enough or in large enough quantities, any spare moments others had were filled with moving the mud up the hill. Thanks strong men. There are some things they are just better at!!
