Hi Ho Hi Ho... It's off to the mine we go...

First, last night's haul from the local Home Depot. Every (straight) piece of 1"x10' EMT conduit they had left in the store (sadly only 10 and I still need about 17 more) plus some pallets (got permission from the store manager to relieve them of some of their spare pallets!). Pallets will form some of the dividers in the mine shaft.

Recruited a new helper today; Greg Phillips came by and together we managed to put together the rest of the mine shaft structure! Even got a tarp over half of it (the tarp for the other half is on order and hasn't arrived yet). Many thanks to Greg as I couldn't have done it all myself!

Good progress; got done exactly what I was hoping to get done today. It only took us two or three times per connector to get things straight ;-)
 We even laid down indoor-outdoor carpeting over the grass so things don't get muddy/sloppy - and so things look more like a mine/dirt and less like a yard inside.


Tomorrow if I have the energy I'll try to disassemble the mine-shaft passage way (see earlier blog posts on that) and get it hauled out into it's final position.

Also on the agenda tomorrow (time and energy permitting) is the setup and first fitting of the pipe structure that will go in the carport to support the field hospital area and dividers. 

Now we're cooking with gas!



 Haunt On!
