Setting up the Poo Factory.

Stage 1 – The Orange Factory

We started working with only a roof above our head, the poo box for drying the dung we have collected, a big bath to make the paper in and a dipper bath for washing the dung. We also made a very nice press but that turned out to be not very useful for the paper making process. Maybe at later point we will be able to use it for stencil printing.. The dung was cooked in an open fire just next to the factory.

Time has come to build a more stable housing around us. So off we went to look for scrap wood and abandoned building materials…

Stage 5 – Dung Bricks and Plasterwork

Our next move will be to produce enough bricks and dung plaster to rebuild the factory as originally planned. Keep updated.
