Day 3



Gilles arrives at the time we set. He is the best. On the set, three strong men are mobilizing the "catamarans" and the painted steel construction to the site.

After a relatively comfortable working space, at our little "workshop", we move to the actual site. 


Unloading the wooden plains. The steel construction and the polycarbonate panels, which height more than 200 cm. 

The advanced workshop is replaced by the green and fertile meadow.

We no longer have horizontal surface for stabilization.  The tools occasionally "disappear" in the Thick and healthy grass. However, we do have a crowd staring at us, mostly cows which move idly around, glancing at our work and monitoring our progress.

Many travelers visit the area and hike the nearby trails. Some are interested in the installation that we began constructing. I think we manage to explain, overcoming the language barrier.

Meanwhile, a reminder we are in nature - bees are humming around us. As the day progresses, temperatures are rising, and humidity increases. This leads to a visit by local and aggressive mosquitoes.

Testing the system
With the difficulties of mounting the installation in situ, Michael connected the steel base of the timber. At the end of the day we succeeded to accomplish the main construction phase
