Vault workers

Things have been a little rough, between two full time jobs and volunteering... my time has been a bit tight. The vault in itself is a part time job alone, and it's been slipping a bit.

<table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">From Vault Workers</td></tr></tbody></table>They guys have been hanging around for the past week or so, and I couldn't stand to see my Nepenthes suffer. So I decided to give them a job and see how it would turn out.

Right away they went to work cutting basals like pros!

<table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">From Vault Workers</td></tr></tbody></table>The seedlings are always something I worry about, one day too dry and they're toast. I made sure to make one of them pay close attention to those...

<table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">From Vault Workers</td></tr></tbody></table>Some of my hanging pots were nearly ready to fall off the hooks until this guy fixed them up. (He does a good job, but not much for conversation)

<table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">From Vault Workers</td></tr></tbody></table>I told them to change the pre-filter of the RO unit... while doing it, they made a few tweaks resulting in a 10% gain in efficiency!

<table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">From Vault Workers</td></tr></tbody></table>Here they are mixing media while I was out at lunch...

<table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">From Vault Workers</td></tr></tbody></table>In the afternoon we spent all day doing some R&D for a new environmental control.

<table style="width: auto;"><tbody><tr><td></td></tr><tr><td style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px; text-align: right;">From Vault Workers</td></tr></tbody></table>
In all, what could I say? During a day's work we got through so many things that I would have spent a month doing by myself!

However, things did get a bit ugly once they started drinking... :crap:

my time has been a bit tight.

Obviously... :-))

Seriously though: 100% awesome. I think the best part is the photo composition. I think you are working them too hard; your one helper hasn't even had time for a shave in a day or so.

xvart.
