Building the Vermicomposter

We have been attempting to figure out how to build the Vermicomposter since last Wednesday (July 3rd.)  As of today, it is still incomplete, but is far more along than it has ever been in the years since it's been ordered.  Unfortunately, the directions that came along with the composter were extremely unclear and did not specify how and where things were put together, leaving us to deduce the construction of the machine ourselves.  We hope to get it done by this time next week, but Murphy's Law was not kind to us so far.  Hope for the best and prepare for the worst!  The following will be pictures of our progress so far.

I didn't get a picture of everything on the floor before we took it all out and sorted them, but trust me, it was really messy.

After a lot of head-scratching, we finally were able to figure out how the end caps fit onto the rest of the machine

All of the things we still need to install neatly put away for next time!

Until next time!
