Day seven was difficult in terms of materials. We were running seriously low on sand, and had to spend much much longer than usual sifting the raw stuff to get the amount we needed.
Luckily we ordered a truck load of new sand for the afternoon, and got on with plastering and packing out the bottle walls.
|For most of the day I took James and Billy to pack out a lot of bottles on the exterior of the dome. However James was a little over-excited and cemented way too much of the material! This left me at the end of the day to chip off cement and clean hundreds of bottles... ah well :) We got a lot of finish work done though, and I finished a portion of the carapace (top area of the guttering).
Paul also interviewed me, James, Peter and Emmanuel, towards the end of the day. The questions asked revealed a much deeper perspective on the Haitian interns. Both an incredible enthusiasm for what they are doing, and the horrific trials that they have had to endure. Most people have lost someone in their family, and all have suffered both the initial earthquake, and the great instability that was caused in its wake.
Petercos couldn't resist taking a few pictures!
