Today was mostly a work day. We spent a lot of our time working on peelng bark off of trees. About half way through, Will asked David and I to carry a long log from where we had cut it down to the smart shed site. Then once we got there, he asked us to remeasure the area so that we could make sure we were using all of its space. It turns out, we could stretch it out a bit. So Will took on the job widening the circle, while David began to dig a hole for a cement block to hold the base of the shed out of the mud. While digging, we found out "3rd discovery," as Will called it. A bent blue pen. It wasn't much, but it is a treasure.

Friday wrap-up

On Friday the 23rd part of our class (approx 3) took some time out and gave Chris Kilfoyle of Berkshire Photovoltaic a call. We asked permission to place him on speaker and conference with him; all 3 of us and him. Our primary goal was to gain more knowledge about solar power/panels. Thankfully for us, he knew lots about solar power. To start out he gave us some building tips about some fees that might arise in building, including a $200 wiring permit. Along with some logistics, he provided us with a website which enables cheap solar panel purchase. www.NewEnglandSolar.com
Moreover, we took the remainder of the class period to continue the preliminary work on the shed. We're still in very early stages of work which means there's tons we can do. We continued the clearing of the site which meant clearing brush, digging up top-soil, hauling clay rich gravel to the site, and taking a ton of notes, documenting every piece of our work in progress.
