Some solid late June progress. After months of plotting, Pepco came out to hook up electricity, and suddenly power tools helped us complete the rest of the fence project in a few days- now just the 16 foot welded fence gate remains. A huge thanks to Tony for some really excellent fence work! With power on, we also received and tested an electric Incinolet incinerator toilet (so far so good). The rest of the garden beds were built as Brian moved the 16 yards(!) of compost we had delivered, and a pear tree and some roses went in. Lee’s tiny house was moved in for finishing, and we threw a little party to celebrate progress and introduce a bunch of friends to the space. Brian and Lee also taught a class on tiny house building on Saturday. And Brian ordered a 250 gallon cistern for garden water, as well as a very cool new toy for moving the tiny homes around in tight alley spaces (can’t wait to post the videos on this one!).
A garden party to celebrate progress on the lot.
Tony did much of the heavy lifting on the fence building, and did really excellent work. He came up with the hog wire fence panel design- looks great!
Fencing is done, and just 2 garden beds left to put in…

In early morning, with the grass unmowed, a bunch of purple flowers come out…
Pepco arrives at last to hook up the electricity ($2700 for one hour of work!)
