A GROUND BREAKING WEEKEND...

The weekend was full of energy in both groups. First, since both sites broke ground before Monday it appears we are all ahead of schedule. Clemson site mocked up the idea on Friday evening, and Pendleton broke ground Sunday afternoon. Both were achieved with the majority of the groups participation! We had a positive energy the whole time which will hopefully remain with us through the next couple of months.

At Clemson, we collected 300ft of bamboo in less than 30 minutes. Thanks yard in which we collected it from. The journey back to the site with 15 - 20ft poles was also an adventure. Once we erected the poles and triangulated them, we noticed that Brad was right. The installation really was not that big. People stopped by and asked what we were doing and as I explained to them, they were really excited!

At Pendleton, we dug for about 3.5 hours. My M.V.A (most valuable architect) was by far S.Wade, (hell of a digger). Collectivley we got the job done with only a little dirt clump fight! But all and all we had a lot of fun.
