Magnus has been working steadily to stabilize the bridge that connects the farm to the rest of Flores Island. Using a cement mixer and some help from friends, the project is stable now.
A special thank you to José Carlos, Elisabete, and Fernando of our local government for providing materials and transport of those materials to our site.
Over 6,000 pounds of sand, gravel, iron and cement were placed to create a massive spillway in times of flooding. This is a continuation of the spillway project previously blogged.
Iron reinforcing bars binds the concrete into a single mass to resist erosion and allow heavy vehicles to pass safely over the tubes.
Odin and Mitra are happy to apply water to the curing concrete while it hardens.
A temporary stairway allows easy passage to the gardens.
The project is nearly finished, only a bit more materials to fill in the exposed tubing and to guard against the water breaking the bridge.
