Day 129

Before MFA bring a gas tank, we burned the scrap pile we had there. We made a big fire. It reminds me of ancient firing experiment I did in the school. After ancient people discover a fire, they realized that the ground after fire gets harder. Then they start making shape by clay, and stuck dried clay pots and start a fire. It is low temperature firing but enough to make hard like bisqued piece. You can get beautiful pattern from fire. Next time when we make fire, I will prepare my work for that. We found comfy insulated mouse house under the scraps.

私たちがゴミの山を作っていたところのすぐ近くにガスタンクを置くつもりなので，ガス会社がまたくる前に今日燃やしてしまうことにした。でっかい火を見て学生時代にした野焼きを思い出す。昔の人が火を使い始め，たき火をした後が他より固い。。。土でものをうける形を作って乾かして、火で焼いてみよう、といったところで始まった。温度は素焼きくらいまでしか上がらないけれど、不思議な火の跡がついて渋くあがる。次回何かを燃やすときは何か作っておこう。スクラップの下に断熱材で作った快適なネズミの巣発見。
We hear the drilled sound. And oh no somebody drilled two holes on our roof.

ドリルの音が聞こえて、あ〜誰か屋根に穴開けてる〜！

They are for the sewer pipe for sewer gas.

これは下水管の、下水ガスを出すパイプ。

This is Japanese ancient pots called "Jomondoki". The name came from the pattern they made with rope. This type of pot called "Kaendoki" is for festival. They imitate frame pattern.
