Video

Occasionally we manage to shoot some video of the construction. Enjoy these videos of pylons being driven (you may want to turn down your speakers) and cement being poured. Video taken by super-volunteer Ron Searl.

Framing of the post-and-beam roof has begun. Enjoy this video taking by HRMM Education Director Sarah Wassberg.
