After building the compost bin, we notice a blueprint error causing a gap between the panel and lid. (see image) We are using bricks to close the gap but it's not a permanent solution. Therefore, we are searching for lumber, tools and builders who can assist us with fixing the gap and bin lids. Please message or comment if you can assist us with the repair. #SaveOurCompost #construction #builders #woodwork #diyprojects #diy #communitygarden #harlem #composting #compostbin
