Another long day gone bye … great stuff today too.

Our neighbors are separating (we think they were a great couple), she is staying here (which makes us happy) and he is going back to his home-village. We purchased from them one of their hay piles .. and this morning he brought it over to our place. We had a coffee together and said goodbye … we were sad to see him go.

I finished assembling and applying a first coat of finish to the kitchen sink cabinet. Tomorrow another coat pf finish then some fine sanding and polishing and another piece of furniture goes to work for us 🙂 I also assembled a tricky part of the base of the shower stall … a skeleton which creates the drainage for the stall … worked out great too.

Andreea was back at the rocket stove continuing our food preservation work … this time she roasted 10kg eggplant and 5kg peppers … both as a preparation for two different kinds of Zakuska.

At the end of the day we used the running rocket to heat bath water … I pushed lots of wood in to see how fast it can heat water and we had steam coming out of ~15 liters of water in 20 minutes. Hot water was great … though it is getting cool in the evenings (and it was freakin cold in the morning).

Food is warming … nice to be at the end of another fruitful day.
