HumaNesting Construcion - Day 2



A Guy on the Hill

Desired way of transferring the woods to the construction site

Starting collecting trees
Small, Soft Branches

Large, Long, Dry Woods

Bye Bye Old Location



Hellooooo New Location









Reasons to choose the new location:
  • An open, flat area, clearly visible from the bike path, the mountain, the sky and the surrounding roads (previous place was behind a 3-meter hill)
  • More distant from the Ayalon river, hence possibly safer against floods
  • Not on the bike path but next to it
  • Better working area due to the closer shed which can be a temporary storage or shelter from the sun
  • Location is in a small "No Man's Land" in the edge of the agricultural area, which is used neither for agriculture nor for anything else
