With Christy and I's time here quickly coming to a close (for now). I've been in a bit of a sprint to try and wrap up current projects and/or get them to a good parking spot until we return.


I'm happy to share that the new incinerator has been installed and the hospital has already been putting it through its paces. We opted to install the unit on a Saturday when the hospital grounds are relatively not busy since we would be running around with the backhoe and at times blocking the lane way.

At one point in time an observer described our method of sliding it into the building and onto its foundation as appearing similar to the game Mousetrap. He wasn't to far off either.

Under the loader bucket you can see part of the homemade "rail" system we devised to slide the incinerator through the door and push it into place.

Thankfully everything went smoothly and after only a few short hours in the blazing sun we were happy to take a selfie around a newly installed incinerator.

Later in the week we returned to install the chimney and plumbed the gas lines. At this point it was time for the first test run.

Time to cook up some Carne Asada!
