They invite me to take part in the construction of their shelter. In the yard, piles of raw material sit, ordered and sequenced into size, weight and value. We build from what we can remember, post and lintel, makeshift foundations, metal wires tied to tree stumps. Our tools are basic but we work on - sharing our knowledge as we build. Columns and beams are erected from thick wooden planks and steel tubes, panels of plastic composites are fixed to the exterior and white rockboard lines the inside walls. Gradually, out of the waste material of the old buildings, we fuse a new shelter together, not pretty to look at but functional and unyeilding in the harsh wind.
