The pump set up.
YIP Event (The George Foundation) 2/11/23
How many gpm is the pump producing?
We timed how long it took to fill up a 5 gallon bucket with the water from the pump.
OOPS - the 2 inch diameter hose needs to be very straight to not restrict flow.
We filled the bucket 3 times and used the average to come up with a flow rate of 41 gallons per minute (GPM).
Emptying the bucket was challenging.
Well, the hose isn't straight yet.
The ladies struggled to push the pump in the wheelbarrow up the pond's berm.
Measuring the size of the area.
Gods Garden
Matching two rulers to get the right dimension of the area.

Brendan K.'s Eagle Scout Project
Every journey starts with a step. Sometimes the step is to go to plan B and accept the fact the original plan didn't go as expected.
Brendan hung in there when the trailer got stuck. Plan B included moving the bags manually.
Volunteers willing to walk with the bags to the site where they were needed.
Pitching in to get the bags off the trailer so we could eventually move it and the truck.
Stacy is going the distance. After this, we loaded bags in a pick up truck and drove them closer.
Everyone contributing to the effort.
Pouring the gypsum on the ground.
Doing a great job raking the gypsum smooth.
The truck & trailer got out of the hole ! Success at last. And, we can be closer to the place where the bags need to go.
Keep that gypsum moving!
Gypsum poured on the ground and bags lined up in rows.
Lots of volunteers makes the work go quicker.
630 bags of gypsum were laid down, opened up, poured out and raked smooth.
Truly a team effort.
It's a pretty site to see all that gypsum on the ground.
All 10 pallets laid out on the ground.
Picking up all the trash and taking it away.
A "sea" of gypsum.
All the gypsum laid out and raked.
