Today we shopped for roofing materials. Below, you can see pictures of Ayse Sokullu, Ayse Temiztas, Ayfer Baykal and myself looking at "sandwich panels" in a local building materials shop.
We learned a lot! Before we were considering three different options: 1. galvanized steel panels, 2. "sandwich"/foam filled panels, and 3. shingles. Galvanized steel panels came with the donated building but they are in very poor condition. They are also the lowest quality of the three options. We are now comparison shopping betwen the sandwich panels and shingles.
As Ayse Temiztas said today, "I learned a lot today! We always say, 'oh isn´t it great that the cooperative women are doing new things, learning new things.' But we (the board members) are doing new things and learning a lot all the time too." Besides Ayse Sokullu - whose family owns a building company - none of us had ever been to a lumber yard before!
The roof building should hopefully start by the end of the week!
all my best,
Jill

3. Looking at the sandwich panels:
Make a quick purse by using a full piece of foam. Lay it so that one short side of the foam faces you. Fold this end up towards the top but stop short a few inches from the very top. Blue foam the sides then fold the flap over and use a piece of Velcro as a fastener. Glue on a piece of ribbon or even a long strip of foam to make the purse strap. These easy purses can be embellished with anything from fake jewels to fabric to buttons. Make a smaller version to use for a wallet. For more info visit at www.Thermhex.co.uk
