It all started with a Wish List.  Jim McComb noticed that Mainspring Schools had two toy sheds on their Wish List last year.
He made a visit to the school and saw the very old, quite small, worn out storage sheds on their playground and said to himself, “This would make a good Rotary project!”.
 
In October, South Austin Rotary held two work days to begin the construction offsite.  They met at McComb Construction in Creedmoor and with the help of master carpenter Javiar Xangon,  constructed the floors, roofs and walls.
 
On Nov 5th,  they held the big work day at the school.  A crew of twelve people from the South Austin and Austin Southwest Rotary Clubs arrived one by one with shovels, rakes, step ladders, levels, drills, tool boxes, painting supplies.. and a good amount of energy!
 
The ground was leveled, concrete blocks placed, walls went up, roofs covered the walls, paint was rolled on, lunch break with Thundercloud subs were eaten and by our 3:00pm deadline we had the two toy sheds built.  A total of 152 volunteer hours spent so far on the project.
 
Jim reported that he called the school’s director who told him that the kids found the new sheds and immediately put them to use - as playhouses!
