Many hands make light work at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre

Big shout out and thanks to The Edinburgh Tool Library for bringing staff and volunteers here on Saturday to build stuff for the Neighbourhood Centre.

Also thanks to Andy and Matthew who are DNC volunteers for giving up their Saturday to help.

As you can see from the photos we built a massive planter 4.8m x 1.6m and put up some funky shutters on our summerhouse.

Last year the summerhouse came under regular attack by apples being thrown at it. Hopefully our new shutters mean little damage can be done should apples again find themselves on a flight path towards the summerhouse!
