Saturday was expected to be snowy and bitter cold, the goal was to start on the tires for the Greenhouse and if we got enough people...start to plaster the wall built the weekend prior.

I was the first to show up around 8:15am, I laid the cornerstone and took my measurements off it, it was my goal to have the ground leveled on the South face row so that tires could be laid and ready to be pounded when folks arrived.

 

Around 9am- Lu and Jonny showed up and it was us 3 for a good while.... we managed to level the ground on the south and east face, lay tires down and pounded a few.

I'd say it was around 11am that more folks started to show up, 3-4 people now bucket running and pounding tires.

The sun did a good job at staying just on the edge of the clouds and gave us enough warmth.

Around 1 o clock, we decided to light the fire for it was getting colder, more people showed up to help, maybe 4 more.

From 1-3:15 or so, Roughly 10 of us were pounding tires, bucket running, and tending the fire to stay warm.

3:15pm - Clean up was called.

The rest of the time until a little past 4 was spent brainstorming on how to attract more people for next week.

Sidenote- Tires were on site already, but once some people saw what we were doing....people brought us tires.
