The days are rolling past. Each one brings progress in our HelpX tasks.
I was was allocated fixing the chainsaw this morning. A $120 Oregon one. It had fallen into a few bits but is running again now although there is something not quite right with the chain drive which I will have a look at tomorrow. It was then onto completing the roof top part of the solar with Dan. It is now done and the wiring complete to the breaker before the charge controller on the wall panel. Once the storage shed for the batteries is complete there is about an hours work before the moment of truth.

| The new shed location adjacent our camping area. The shape of the tanks together resembles Mickey Mouse hence the face "dymarked" on the ground |
 |
| Checking the pictures. 2 weeks ago this was jungle. |
 |
| The arborist at work |
 |
| There is now quite a clearing and a lot of logs |
 |
| The complete crew of Snow White's ( Susan's) dwarfs |
 |
| The remote bathroom yet to be finished |
 |
| The outdoor kitchen. We dine at the white table. Smoke arises from the "pig" used to heat the water. |
Susan has been slaving in the kitchen all day trying to keep the food up to the masses and doing it pretty well. All you can hear at meal times is the scrap of utensils on plates. Noodle pancakes for lunch and spaghetti bolognese for tea followed by bread and butter pudding. All eagerly consumed.
We drove to town this afternoon for a coffee. I think we chose the wrong shop since the boys said their coffees at the other place were pretty good. Susan wrote and posted her weekly letter with stickers to Abella.
We saw Max chatting to some girls outside the pub. Apparently his being French has made quite an impression and he is out on a date tomorrow night. This was the subject of some ribbing after tea. Kurt has also copped his share of stirring since he doesn't eat pumpkin. Susan has been including it in dishes well disguised and telling him afterwards. At least she says it is in there and nobody really knows!!
We have been having quite a few laughs and at the same times lot's has been achieved.
cheers Simon
