After roughly six months of waterproofing and renovations on the Vía Cocina rooftop, we are finally happily finished this phase of work!
Our worker Humberto has returned to his village home in Valencia, and I'm trying to get some well-deserved rest too before what we hope will be a busy December with community and private events to finish the year.
It took almost 2 months to finish installing the flooring on the roof, because of the tiny 10cm x 10cm size of the tiles. In the photos you can see that we've also got some of the ornamental plants growing in the new rooftop gardens. In the next report I hope to share images of vegetables and herbs growing with community member help too!
The next phase of work will be to get the flooring and plumbing etc ready in the front patio so that low income entrepreneurs can start learning and selling to the public in our space ASAP. Hopefully Giving Tuesday and tax deductible year end donations will give us a head start, but either way we're looking forward to a slow and steady road forward!
Thanks again for your support!
Brian
