The Com-Post

As Mama B mentioned in her last post, the Bongorno estate is long overdue for a compost bin. We bought the lumber a couple weeks back and with Joel's help, hauled it back to the neighborhood for fabrication and installation. With our frequent weekend travel and the poor weather we've had lately, the project has gone on longer than expected. We started on Mothers Day (at Naomi's request!) and made a good bit of progress. Naomi picked up an did a bit more during the week before we left town for another weekend away. Next up... this weekend, we finish!

Here's the sorry heap before we started construction

The lumber, sitting in the garage (the former owner left us a lot of junk!)

Naomi & Nora saddled up and got ready for the heavy labor

Nora points out a slight miscalculation that could've cost Mommy some valuable time!

It's business time...

...and Nora is spent!


We'll share more with you as this major public works project takes shape! I project a completion date of Spring '09!
