Work on modules resumes
After some time off we got back on working on our modules.
We have a goal to reach until the end of the October and that is all modules in “driving” condition.
Davor and Boki spent two days assembling last of the modules and putting down missing track on some of them.
Since we started working in a garage we had some issues with gathering together all the tools and materials but me managed to overcame that and work has been progressing.
