Four times. That's how many times we mixed clay today.So by the end of it, we were all nursing our aching limbs. But it makes for good exercise so chuck it.
We finally started putting the clay onto the bamboo structure. It may seem easy to watch, but is quite complicated to execute. We had to put clay from the outside and inside, simultaneously preferably. After putting the mud, we made holes on the top of each layer, so that the next layer could fit properly. We scraped off any excess mud with our fingers so the whole thing has a cool pattern going on now. Though we didn't have to cover the whole thing, still it took a lot of time since we kept running out of clay and had to make new batches. Then rolling them into balls and making a human chain to pass them on. Also the place where we are building doesn't have a constant supply of water so that amounted into another gigantic effort of passing water across a long line a couple of times. So after all this labour, we were almost done by the end of the day.
Also this day showed us incredible back flips and jumps onto the mud pile by us and Arnab as well.
Looking forward to an equally long and tedious day ahead as we need to finish this by tomorrow, it being our last day at BMS.
