3 arrived by bike and one got the train to our starting point. We all took a gentle walk over to the corner house, and waiting for the task owner to show up, she happened to be a bit late. 2 stayed behind to admire the flowers and get a plan together, while the other 2 went off and fetched the ladder from the task owner's house. Once arrived back at corner house, we were set the task of mounting trellis to a wall with the plan of attaching trellis to some bricks and chucking them over the wall, and hoping gravity will keep it in place. Plan in place, Peter went up the ladder moved some thorns out of the way and got the trellis up. There was some repeated attempts of getting the bricks/counterweights over the wall, but eventually we done the task at hand. We walked back to task owner's house with the ladder and then went on a small walk back to our starting point. One person did unfortunately leave their personal items behind, but luckily managed to retrieve them, and with that we said ta ra.
