I swung by the garden to do some weeding in my plot today, and I was very excited to see the bobcat hard at work! Much of the asphalt and rock had already been pushed aside, revealing classic sandy Florida soil underneath.
Mary interviewed someone on gutters, and got a drawing of recommended gutter placement for the church building. We should hear from him in 2-3 days with an estimate, and from there we’ll begin to build the rainwater system!
