I'm STILL not done with the water project.  Only one more project involving gluing PVC left to do; however I now also want to replace the problamatic bit of pipe that is in the creek. That pipe is never going to stop trying to coil back up into its original coil and every time it does so it cuts off my water supply by airlocking.  I might as well put a new piece of pipe in there that will lie flat without being weighted down by piles of rocks that will wash away with the next heavy rain. 
 Day before yesterday involved another visit to Fort Bragg.  My body feels ever so much better!   
This morning Mark O came up to help. I was going to have him help replace the pipe, but he is terribly allergic to poison oak and there is a lot of it up there.  So instead we moved the old 6 ft tank into position in the garden. I threw some wood in the bottom and we shoveled out the last of the wood compost from the truck into it.  A trip to town filled the truck back up with a planting mix. We put most of the load into the old tank.  It is really, really nice mix, the plants will love it. I have a couple winter squash planted and a couple okra will go in this evening when it cools off. 


We also worked for a few minutes on the solar, driving rebar through the wooden and the brick paving base to make a really sturdy footing for it. 

In the last couple of days I've gotten a lot of the remaining plant materials removed from right next to the house.  Should be more fire safe now.
