Day 4 - Can we build it?

It was rise and shine early today as we needed to complete 2/3 of the house by the end of the day. There was a lot of girl power happening with many of the chicks using hammers, drills and circular saws for the first time. All of us pulled together and the floor and the beams for the walls and roof were built. Days without a workplace injury has been changed to 0 as Lloyd Plane stepped on a nail but I am pleased to announce that he was very brave and didn't cry. Also included in the injury count is Rob Hartley who fell off his scooter.  Apart from making everyone late home there was no serious side effects of the accident. 

After an externally hard days work, we had a lovely relaxing dinner on the roof of our hotel which has a magnificent view of the Phnom Penh city skyline.
