I'm getting there on the bog. Slow and steady, slow and steady...
As for the documentation....keep in mind that:
Pichers! Gotta hab dem Pichers!
Now today's update!
Last night I started working on a wooden box. I got it assembled before it got too dark (pretty darn close though! ) :
Today I took the hardware off of it, slung some stain around and put the hardware back on. No sanding. No Babying. The only reason that I bothered to stain it was simply to help it weather the weather a bit:
After I got it stained up and reassembled...I got it mounted:
It's hard to tell in the pix above, but the box is actually centered on the back of the reservoir.
As you can see in the pix above, I started staining the underside of the tops. Will be doing the same to the long-term piece of plywood in the planter area also. I ran short of stain, so I'll need to get some more.

Now I have ~3/4 acre empty (overgrown) on 1 side of me, and "neighbors" on the other side for a few years now. I'm ~150' off of the road...they are right up at the road...so it's kinda like not having neighbors! The back is hard to describe, but it's overgrown as you can see from the pix. I do have people around me, but it's spread out a bit.
The bog also looks very interesting. I can't wait to see it done and all planted up!!
