Subfloor Decking and More.

Subfloor decking going in. Back trailer is AT’s construction trailer.

We started the subfloor decking, starting in the SE corner.

End of the day, Storm clouds gathering.

We shutdown at about 5:00pm, but covered up the decking with the tarps as thunderstorms started building due to low winds and thermals rising off the heated land.

There’s a new time-lapse on Dropbox from 6/1 to 6/3. If you look closely you can see the re-erection of the water tank and the start of the subfloor decking. Towards the end of the day you can see the thunderheads building in the background and covering of the subfloor with tarps. Early on the 3rd you can see the truck that delivered this:

Long awaited well-water purification system. behind the box is the freshwater tank (500 gal) and the actual Reverse Osmosis filter (the black Carbon Fiber Overwrapped Pressure Vessel – COPV).

In the lower left is the Taupe Paint to cover the containers to match the metal siding above. Unwrapping the above reveals:

Details of water purification system. Some Assembly Required. The included (I hope) all the necessary instructions on a USB key included with the first shipment.

The water tank rebuilt. Note the leftover 2×12’s supporting the legs.

In other news, my plants have started to sprout. First up are the potatoes in the garden bed.

Only two potatoes, but they are coming in strong.

Next up the potatoes in the five-gallon buckets.

Second three

After they sprout a little more, I will put more dirt in and then top off the buckets with some straw to keep evaporation rates down.

Misc seeds from tape

Finally, since I am anticipating shipping issues as the year goes on, I have started proactive measures.

Key Lime Tree

Unfortunately, I suspect that I will have pot the tree in order to move it back inside this fall.

All in all, things seem to be progressing well.
