Nearly done

It turns out that there will be another update tomorrow before the summer break as they didn't QUITE get everything done today but we are really very close!

Halil works to fix the belt on the mower

Grinding metal for the hatch frame

Welding the frames together

Access hatch

Doors being hung

It was a cooler morning which was very welcome, with a nice breeze and I got stuck into my work well until the furnace turned on and then it was a struggle again. I daren't think what a day it was for Bekir and Halil as they worked outside, fortunately entirely in the shade through the day. The first task for Halil was to mend my lawnmower. Again. It has been out of action for a few weeks but with the heat the grass isn't growing anyway so it hasn't been urgent. Bekir was  back with the grinder and welder making the frames for the hatches on top of each collection point. These have been completed included (not pictured here) a really good handle so we can lift the hatch to put kitchen scraps in. I'm so pleased with how these are turning out. After that they set to fitting the doors which I will use to turn the material and cover with hay, and then after a year or so empty. By the end of the day two tasks were left; one was to fill in the gaps around the edges of those doors so they are sealed and the second to move the pumps and batteries and get it all plumbed in and actually working.

They will be back tomorrow to do this and then we will have "flushing" toilets again and also it'll be the start of the summer break.

Thanks for reading.
