Lizette then got started drilling holes in the PVC conduit “C-clamps” that will secure the GH fabric to the frame. Not many women that I know off that is comfortable behind a bench drill. :D :D :D

I completed the excavation for the "Trench" about 15:30 and rewarded myself with a cold one. Luckily it is now done and I can now start building the GB frames.

Update: I received the last of the test results on our well/borehole water. The results look good, I’ve expected worse readings. I’ve decided to go for a 50/50 mix of tap water and our well/borehole water and will see how things turn out.
