Frustration

So day 2 is almost half way done, and I need to fit this challenge thing into the rest of my day. I'm totally committed to the challenge, but day one was filled with frustration, as the legal constraints hampered my plan to make a copper sugar spoon. I got a piece of copper wire for free from the scrap yard, I asked how much I could get for 50c and the guy gave me a funny look and said to take the piece I have in my hand for free. a 5c piece would have been perfect for the bowl, but alas destruction of government property is illegal and thus not within the rules of the game. I tried using the bottom of a Cream Soda can, but that turned into a small disaster. Soda cans are coated with some sort of plastic that will not come off. Oh and torn cans cut like razors, ask my hands.

So today I will have to mission out to another scrap yard and try to procure a piece of copper plate to shape in order to complete the spoon. This spoon should sell for R8 which will get me back on track with regards to the parameters of the challenge. Darn you government property!
