On funds, structure and volunteers

This week, a few important things are coming in. Structural drawing of the ecohouse from Chia, Wilson updated us with some potential corporate sponsors, my algae tank is blooming nicely!

Thing is, Chia is leaving next Thur to Thailand for work till end November, so we gotta be familiar with her design and requirements of the superstructure! Raffles came back to Singapura and bombed the whole city after Farquhar built it not the way Raffles wanted. Gosh, that design looks like a lot of steel will be needed. In any case, we're trying to get it under 15k, no more, or budget will burst! Any builders wanna sponsor??

We made a rough count of the manpower required in the installation phase- about 15 peeps. Get all the required materials to the Diary farm road on 2 and 3 Dec, start camping at the campsite from 8 Dec onwards to work over the weekend! That'll be much fun, putting things together, sweating it out and looking at the end product. So, you don't have to go overseas to do community service, the same YEP style experience could be had right here!

I think I'd found quite the best way to keep CO2 in the tank to slowly dissolve into the water-wrappng the end of the delivery tube of a cloth. That's it. With a weight tied to it, the bloated cloth won't float up, so the CO2 can only dissolve into the soup. Seems now that the limiting factor to making my alge soup even thicker is the amt of carbon. I'd dumped quite alot of fertilisers in alr..
