Bill Dodds wrote quite a treatise!  All in all it's quite comprehensive, 
bu there are some corrections needed.

I agree with Brian in that we need to discuss any process/processor/site 
changes before they happen.

I have a ton of personal time and ego wrapped up in the site and process 
equipment.  That being said, the site layout has generally been a group 
process, so if anything gets changed the process needs to occur again.  
Things are where they are for a reason in most cases.

I disagree with the supposition that everything needs to have room for a 
5 gallon bucket under it.  The long view is that nothing has hoses and 
is all hard piped - making it much safer and and simpler and spill 
resistant.  The site plan shows locations for wash water totes, etc.

Lacking is the platform by the BBQ - it is falling over because it has 
not diagonal supports.  It needs to be fixed if we are going to use it 
at all.

I heartily agree that distribution needs to be moved to the North side 
of the Conex per the site layout.  The metered pump idea is what I have 
been trying for.

Bill's effort is commendable and will help us prioritize our work into 
the future.

Thanks,

Felix
