Planning ahead when working in remote locations

Earlier I posted a photo of our settlement tiles inside a big (broken) freezer with a space heater placed inside to dry our tiles. It turns out the temperature on Palmyra is hotter than the highest setting on the space heater, so it turns itself off shortly after we turn it on. We went with plan "B" and are using a heat lamp to dry the tiles.



This is just one example where we made contingency plans. One can't just swing by Home Depot to pick up that one critical item that you forgot to pack. Once here, you are on your own. That said, there is a maintenance shop with a wide array of stuff, and Jack is great at making repairs and improvising when needed.
