Notes:
1. The high temperatures are moderating, but it’s still summer – so remember to dress appropriately, drink lots of water and rest whenever necessary.
2. At least one volunteer enveloped a rash after handling rockwool insulation last Saturday. All volunteers are advised to wear long shirts, long trousers, and gloves when handling rockwool. Dust masks are also available.
3. Watch for updates, as things can change!
