Solar Shower Experiment #304,349,403...(sigh)....

Notes:

  • Mega HUMID.
  • Neighbor still around? Laundry chems, shaky morning.
  • Sky started clearing up, some periods of sun, clouds (occassionally dark) but at least didn't rain past morning.

300.28 Shower arrangements onsite

  • Since seems to be clearing up somewhat w/periods of sun...doing another trial
  • Emptied blk tray/cleaned, filled w/water and taped on cover of clear plastic
  • If works, need a better clear "lid" (or a non-leaky clear jug!)
  • Time: 0.25hr
  • Didn't work, am leaving setup in case tomorrow gets sunny

213.27 (MLA/Deck) shape ground for drainage/lay gravel/stone over site

  • this sucks. Confined spaces. Humidity and bugs awful.
  • had to start using wheelbarrow -positioned as close as poss, shovel under beams into, wheel to edge and shovel out
  • Time: 4hrs

289.01 Loan extension: Check in w/Janet

  • YIPPEE! Our construction loan administrator came through and got us an extension into fall. No need to keep calling her every month.
