The Nasty Trick (La Vacherie) November 2001

Just 4 days in France with two workers and many problems were solved. Chris supervised, while Janet and Jen removed over 1000 bottles (empty) and a mountian of rubble to the Decheterie and Paul spent nearly two days hacking through a 20" thick granite wall. They must have enjoyed it because they volunteered to come back at Christmas.
