Teamwork is important too - and never waste an available pair of hands! A local young man who was accidentally locked out of his home for a couple of hours came over and helped my husband lay the iron on the roof. The son of our neighbours came over to return a tool he had borrowed, and went back for his tool belt when he saw what we were doing, and helped with some of the prep work. Two brothers, sons of friends, helped with the firewood on two different days. And of course, our own kids pitched in too, when they weren't working. Many hands make light work. Besides, it's fun to work together and chat while a task gets done, as well as learn from each other. My husband started most of this work not expecting anyone would be available to help, but helpers seem to turn up when things are underway.
