Not sure how much I will be able to contribute initially (live in a condo atm) but some day I hope I will be able to help support the community!

Just make sure are your Kickstarter email address and your permies.com email address are the same. The algorithm we use depends on those two being the same. Thanks!

Final questions are answered & goodbyes are said as Paul lovingly kicks us off his Lab.

The Duke truly in his own element building a swale.

The site for the swale is picked, the laser level is set up & Paul gives a quick talk on the what a swale is & it's purpose in any good earthwork design.

Turns are taken using the big excavator by the workshop guests at the pond site. It's a much bigger machine but the controls are the same so the learning curve was minimized.

Good to know Bill. Thanks for the info. I'd like to pass it along to clear up any confusion. Any idea who the governing body would be so I can site the source?

Pictures of the future pond site the depth of the hole & it's progress.

Zach gives some quick instruction on how to set up & use his laser level which we will use during the construction of the swale.

Zach stops by before lunch to update Paul about the pond project. We break for lunch & Taylor asks his Kickstarter rewards question. Paul gives his thoughts on how to create a pond in sandy soils

And on.
