Honesty Stall at Rochelle School, London
Höfer Waren stall 2007, Höfen
Our proposed so called village shop has opened, a while ago, and been up and running at various locations with different product ranges at random prices, and together with Grizedale and public works and somewhere we have become happy and busy traders.
The shop appears under such different names as:
Honesty Box
Internationaler Dorfladen
Honesty Stall
Village Kiosk
Sufelje
Shop activities have shifted to other blogs:
the myvillages.org website
the myvillages/public works blog on the Agrifashionsita.tv website
and the still rudimentaryvillage kiosk blog.
Topics: 'Honesty Box' 'Honesty Stall' 'Internationaler Dorfladen' 'Sufelje' 'Village Kiosk'

View through the main barn
View of the cottage, whats left of it!
At last the major demolitions are nearing completion and the majority of the building is ready for the new concrete floors to be poured on Monday, this means work can begin on re-building the walls and everyone should start to see a difference on the webcam.

One man fixing machine
This is what happens when you get a hole in your ground source heat pipes.. Sintec were back onsite this week to grout the pipes into the boreholes this involves pressure testing them first to make sure they'll work when the system is commissioned -good times. They couldn't get pressure in the last pipe which generally means theres a hole in it and they have to pull the 70m pipe out by hand and replace it -bad times

The new pole goes up
The old pole comes down
The long awaited removal of the electricity pole, sited in the middle of the Lawson Park meadow, was completed this week. With a great deal of equipment, monster trucks and men on mobile phones in attendance, the removal of the pole and undergrounding work seemed to be completed relatively smoothly, it only seemed to be the small matter of flicking the switch to turn our electricity back on that was a problem, hence the delay in posting pictures of this great (and very expensive) event.
