Update 17. August: Striding steady

At the end of the day, we have made major improvments and feel like we have done nothing at all. It was a day so uneventful and yet so bussy.

On the welding front, we have cut und welded the Top-Frame of the incinerator(the key piece), build part of the chimeny support and experiementet with the leader steps for cleaning the chimeny.

The brickwork-crew evend out the highest layer of the inner case with a cutting disk, inserted and leveled the ash tunnels and brought the outer case(protects the inner case and give a little insolation) to half it’s hight.

Gilles collected the big metal plates covering the burning chambers and bought 50 more bricks for the out wall.

We move steady like a hiker up a mountain. We’ll get there and can already see the top!

In personal news, we are at the top of our health, get introduced to tasty food( Maniok with Cuscus and a spinach-like peanut sauce), enjoy the magnificent scenery, have fun the workers and buy bananas fresh from the tree and fresh peanuts straight out of the ground(no joke)
