Quickbuilds are SOOO much fun. I absolutly LOVE going to them. Everytime i go, i wanna BE a sheetrocker or framer or whatever it is that im doing. I just went over the weekend to our assembly hall. We were refinishing the lunchroom and apartments of the CO and DO. It was GREAT.. my team got the HARDEST rooms though, but it was still fun. When you are working there you really feel part of a group, everyone helps EVERYONE, even if you have never seen them before in ur life. Me and the funky fresh were working in this one room and having SOO much fun. AND best part about it.. well not the best part.. but it IS up there.... i get to count my time for when im working there.. and YES it does come RIGHT from the overseer in charge of the RBC... thank you very much!!! woohoooo... But it was fun.. the only thing i dont like the soreness you get the day after... oooh my... my back and arms feel like the were broken and glued back together with some of the sheet rock glue we were using over the weekend... ooh my.. but still.. SOOO much fun...

Yeah i loooooooove the build we have so much fun, even thought u are workin hard slog for a long day you feel great afterwards (allbeit for the major aches and pains).

I always throw myself right in, do all the jobs a brother thinks a sister shouldnt do and loving it (dont get me wrong i know when to play the weaker vessel card ha ha)

Last build they asked who wanted to help with the roof tiling i was like "oh yeah" and they said are you sure, and once i got up there we had the bestest time ha ha

You name it ive done it on the builds, ducting, insulating, brick laying, mixing......but one of the best bits is seeing your mates and going the pub after ;) ha ha
