Birth Of A Budget Incubator
Greetings everyone, I trust that the weekend was good for all of you.
It was very good for me.
Here is why.
With the current Monetary Exchange rate, 1 South African rand = 12 US Dollars,
it follows therefore that if I am planning to spend 1500 South African Rand on an incubator, it would equate to 18000 US Dollars.
This I am sure everyone will agree is exorbitant.
However to the Patient Opportunist, an Incubator can be built very cheaply indeed.
I have been that Patient Opportunist resulting in my good weekend.
On SATURDAY I loaded my trailer with garden refuse and took it to the local Municipal Dumping Ground,
while there a gentleman, arrived with among other things a two door fridge on his trailer.
In conversation he said that it was too expensive to repair and he was dumping it, my thoughts immediately went into incubator mode,
resulting in the fridge being dumped onto my trailer totally free of charge.
The fridge is in two sections, upper half being a normal refrigerator and the bottom half being a freezer.
Yesterday I cut out the partition between the two halves as a start to building my incubator.
This thread will be a progress report with total cost calculated at the end.
It is not pretty, but it is totally cost free so far.
