I cleaned up the mounting plate for the solar pump's pressure switches today. I had planned to start assembly of the green house hoops today but it clouded up like rain so i just knocked off early.
Also.... mice in my workshop gnawing into sacks of chicken feed. I setup one of those flip and slide 5 gallon bucket traps last night. Checked it a few times. Caught one about every 30minutes.

I didn't want to auger holes and concrete in the remaining posts until we had one array done just in case I missed something in cad.
