Day 8

Another long work day, although the hours seem to go by too quickly. Nate is gone on the men't hike until tomorrow night. Luckily everyone is in very close proximity so we don't get lonely. I realized yesterday that I didn't take pictures of a few of the jungle camp amenities. Above we have the washing machine. A blue barrel cut open at the top. The black handle is attached to bar going the length of the barrell to help stir up the soap and clothes. Next is the oven attached ontop and beside the stove unit. It's just a metal barrel cut into the main metal drum that is the firebox. On the other side of the unit is the hot water which works much the same as the oven only it is upward.

And last but not least, the fridge! A metal bucket in the ground with rocks all around and under it. The lid has styrofoam on the underside for added insulation. It's basically there for keeping food from not getting hot rather that cooling it right down, but it'll help.

And this is my masterpiece. I've been working on it for couple days and finally finished it today. Ok, so it's not straight but it'll hold food. I used a line level and everything. And the other huge project which Nate mostly worked on is the bench. Lots of tieing down and cutting. I also finished that today so it's ready for the foam and material over top.

And here is tomorrow's project. We got a door with the pile of wood on our lot, but it had been through 3 years so it was looking sad. Remembering that we can't use any hinges, nails, or screws, a door become very difficult. So I took it mosltly appart today and I'll rebuild it and keep the frame. Any ideas? =)

And so after today this is what I walked away looking at.
