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
