The Miller Project (.org) has moved hosts and I am updating everything in sight. Latest versions, new graphics, better functionality, all that jazz. Right now there are no pictures, but rest assured! They are on my computer and will return once the gallery is resurrected. Send feedback on the new theme, if you like.
Jake, Mark, Carter and I went out for the weekend to do some random stuff before it gets too cold. Jake and the others focused on clearing a path for an excavator to work on the drainage ditches some more and we talked dimensions and such, hoping to decide on something that will handle the spring melt.
I worked on the irrigation ditch and was able to clear some bottlenecks. Half of the thing is now flowing at full speed and not overflowing to the land around it. The middle portion of the ditch dropped, literally, 6 inches when I dug a new channel around a tree that was letting very little water through. It seems likely that we will dig a flood basin for the drainage ditch and the irrigation ditch to overflow into during the melt and during storms, otherwise we’ll just end up flooding the wrong places.
Jake has pictures, I unfortunately do not. So at some point, maybe.
We have one more trip planned but I’m not sure what we’re going to try and accomplish. Since the irrigation ditch is my pet project I’ll probably try to do that, but we got snow in the mountains yesterday and it may already be too late.
