Today, we continued with the task of building our two water filters. The long flat one’s frame is now constructed with a heavy thick metal bar around the perimeter and the metal mesh is welded on to it.

The second filter, the box shaped one, was tidied up, removing excess mesh material and it is now ready for the cloth geotextile fabric to be folded and inserted in.

Hopefully, tomorrow, we will get our new piece of the geotextile fabric (coming in the post) and we can wrap these two skeleton frameworks and then paint the metalwork in protective resin to stop rusting and also seal and hold the cloth in place.
