3rd day

I am very grateful we are such a numerous group, there are a lot of tedious tasks that get done in one day. Filling bags with foam glass REFAGLASS is surely one of them:

And more sharpening of sticks is needed - all done with a smile:

The wood is protected with diluted linseed oil:

Of course the main task was to finish the first vaults. Here is the last straw bale missing - two boards are helpful to let it slide in.

The building is very precise, and everything fits well - at least after the last peice had been cut 4 times...

Some pushing is still necessary:

And a proper hammer is always of good use...

The vaults are then strapped down - for tensile strength in case of pointed loads...

Everything is harder when you do it at the wrong time - the airtightness paper should have been in before the bale vault was built. But after some effort, we got what we needed.

The food is great every day, today even the non-vegetarians got some meat - duck!
