Broken generator dampens team spirit (Esa)

Building camp report
Friday, August 12th, 2005
Åsen, Sweden

The morning was beautiful. During the day there were a few showers.

Heiko plus team took the Pajero to the building site around ten. Antti was left to kitchen duty due to some ache in his arms. Davide plus team visited Älvdalen and filled the 20 liter gasoline canister.

Heiko's team started preparing building only to change many plans because of a broken generator. Once Davide arrived Erik and Bruno were sent to Älvdalen to have the generator serviced. Looks like the big generator will be in the shop at least until Monday, maybe until Wednesday, next week.

Davide had much of the floor on longhouse #4 made. Heiko had most of the wall modules up and fixed in position. The frames for the elevated floor in longhouse #2 were completed and the work was begun in longhouse #3. Our small generator appears not to be powerful enough to run an air-compressor. Result: the lack of pressure air slowed things down.

The roof of the Dragoncafé was repaired and it had some new decorations.

General notes:
Loss of the generator dampened spirit but the day was still quite productive. Team Italy has their going away party tomorrow, so it's going to be a short day. Ironic, when everybody begins to learn their shit, the team changes.

We had some visitors: some sort of group of family/friends with two cars and a sole black Saab which didn't stop.
