With A Minute to Spare!


The last screw went in at 6.59pm, 28th October, completing the initial stages of Garbologist H.Q. A mere 1 minute before the site closed, it didn't look likely for a while, but we re-grouped after a lollipop piece-time (kindly offered by the top site workers, in their warm, electricity ready, metal shed with real windows) and raced on to complete it in the dying light. It'll have to be raised onto sleepers, which, at the moment are inside holding it to the ground.

"It Wilnae Last The Winter"!


Half an hour into kit building and the sheds almost complete. The above helpful comment shared by a van driver passing through the site may have heralded an ominous truth, although the 3 hours it took to get the roof and windows in place brought the total build time to a more realistic 4 and 1/2 hours. Securing it to the ground and beginning extensions/stabilizing it starts this weekend. Opportunities for a timeshare scheme may materialize!.....

Garbologist H.Q - The Shed!


With help from Callum on the forklift, Garbologist H.Q made its way in primitive flat-packed state from storage in Friarton Depot to the public skip site this morning (28th Oct). Here, by the buried Fiesta, will be the hub of activity for the duration of the project. Euan Taylor of Inefficient Solutions has been contracted to assist with the build.

CHINESE STREET SWEEPING


Street Sweeping on Tiananmen Square with the BUCHER CityCat! The sharper eyes amongst us will notice the similarities between the CityCat and the SCARAB Minor. Though wheel location and slightly busier (16million populated) streets to contend with make for a whole different SCARAB/BUCHER experience, their mission remains shared - ensuring a spotless environmet to be enjoyed by residents and visitors alike! Keep up the good work CityCat!
