Its been a busy couple of days, and although I have published a couple of guides on moving tokens, I have also been getting back into work around the farm.
There is a lot to do, and it can be overwhelming at times, but I am determined to advance on our projects, after all, what good are tokens if we can't convert them into real life changes?
Last week I was invited to an important meeting in the Gregorita, our neighboring rural district, about a hydroelectric project possible coming to our region. The are still in the various legal processes necessary to start, including socializing the community.
They did ask us to wear masks, but at least when each person talked in turn they took their masks down so we could understand them. More information to come on this big project.
One thing I really want to finish, need to finish, is our ecodome. I am currently working on a new drying rack to dry grass as an ingredient in the plaster we will be using. The idea is to cover all the finished parts of the dome with plaster and then continue with the roof of the dome.
I had cleaned up the area and started to accumulate the materials, including bamboo from our farm, which can only be cut in the new moon. After a week or two of false starts, when we finally got down to business the grass was all grown again.
We got the area clean and started cutting the bamboos to length. I was working with my neighor's son, he is 11 years old and was very happy to get some work, he told me he needed some medicines for his new puppy, which is what motivated me to get started.
We still have a few days of summer left, even though its raining at night now. Rainy season here is called 'winter', and Winter is Coming.
Over the course of the week, working mostly half a day at a time, we managed to get everything prepared. My helpers family had built a similar structure last year, so we are following their design.
Next week we have plans to finish off this structure, sometimes it feels like there is so much to do that I never get anything finished, but I am working hard to change that, and getting help is something very important to that. I know a lot of people but not everyone has proven able to work with me, or perhaps vice versa.
I will have more pictures for you next week, leave me a comment down below about what you think about 'child labor', one of my favorite topics to argue about.
