€85 to upgrade a Dell OptiPlex 780 from 2009 so it can run GameMaker for a game development workshop for teenagers next weekend. I wasn't going to use GameMaker but a partner organization wanted to use it. Might see if I can grab some cheap SSDs next week too.

We salvaged a fence being demolished nearby to send to landfill. The project is converting this to a vermin-proof hot composting station to expand capacity for processing organics.

Right now, carefully de-nailing by hand to make the materials safe to handle and store at our open-access compost hub, and putting steel aside for recycling.
