Dinosaurs

We got most of the iron on the roof today, but didn't quite get to the end of it as it was pulling into dusk. The dinosaur activity continued on apace behind us. It is strange how much more tiring it is to work when it is noisy and smelly. While the chipper hopper was full of wood it was fine, but today they were feeding stuff that was already semi digested by bacteria through the machine, so replicating certain dinosaur functions that one would not like to be too close to. There were also rather more midges around than yesterday. Apparently the big machine burns five hundred litres of gas a day as well, so not quite the "green recycle" that it has written on the side. One interesting thing was that one guy was operating the two huge machines. He had a remote control for the giant chipper in the cab of his grabber arm machine.
