Nash and Logan both departed, so only Wylie and I have been working for the last two weeks, which means progress has slowed considerably. Still, progress has been made, plus Logan will be coming back soon to hopefully kick the project back into high gear.

The pump works! I didn’t get video or photos, but I later showed water was pumped up to the cistern location, approximately 200 ft in elevation and almost 900 ft horizontally. It appears the solar panel power is very sensitive to the angle to the sun and of course shade.
The spring box has been wrapped in plastic and partially backfilled.
Wylie thinks audio books are key to working…
