Re: Past Work Party Update

Pete, you call those circles on that diagram? Do we need to  
requisition you a compass, man?

I am not involved enough with site planning to contribute much to  
what we *should* do with the concrete. However, I am volunteering  
both my hands and my wheelbarrow and my back and I'll be happy to lay  
out and place a mosaic of concrete this weekend if I can get a few  
helpers.

I'm thinking maybe I should *also* lay out some concrete tiles near  
the back of the property for a temporary location for the methanol  
still.

I'll need to buy crushed pea gravel. If we are planning to lay out  
temporary tiles for where the eventually concrete pad will go, we  
will need enough gravel that we should probably order it delivered by  
truck. They usually do that for free if you order enough cubic yards.
