Day 2

After entering Environmental Studies Will Miller announced that we would be calling Craig Robertson, an independent building contractor, hearing that he had experience with solar panels. After dialing him I had to pass off the journal to Rubia because I was seemingly incapable of keeping up with the "fast paced" conversation that ensued. To our surprise Craig Robertson did NOT actually work with solar panels, but in fact worked with solar water heating. After clearing up this small miscommunication Craig was kind enough to point us in the right direction telling us to call Chris Kilfoyle who actually worked with solar electricity and the like at, Berkshire Photovoltaic Services. He told us about a cheaper version of solar panels which are thin films of photovoltaic which can be attached to our roof; along with loopholes about building structures on campus negating the need for a building permit. Our shed is now classified as a "temporary structure" which may very well be true if it Somehow doesn't hold together. We thanked him for his time then headed outside to do some awesome physical labor.

The felled log from day prior was hoisted by every available member (except for the photographer) and moved over to the build site. We then followed this up by having the class split into two groups, one group bringing over the rest of the log, the other clearing brush.
The next thirty minutes were spent getting thorns in my epidermis, chopping down an invasive species of rose bush, pulling up roots, chewing mint leaves, and dragging brush into a discard pile. A pretty productive day if you ask me.
