Power plan/site distro is at the engineering stage. Strawman schedule from FPL Fri.

Trying for a couple more bids for metal building and greenhouse.

Metal building 36'x70'

Greenhouse 30'x50'



Laser leveled metal building and greenhouse today and have to deal with some grade/fall of the land. We started with wanting the floor levels to be equal between the two buildings but the grade makes that an issue.

Plan to house much of the materials for use in the greenhouse in the metal building, so 4' man/equipment doors on both buildings opening in on Greenhouse and out on metal building. Think covered breezeway.

We're going to drop the greenhouse floor lower than the barn over the 8'. This is what I got from GROK.

Our redneck way forward.

On another front, buddy has a farm North side of the county. Scouted and made some of my Hog Herion, sweet feed, whole corn, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tbls yeast.

Find where they're passing by.

Take a posthole digger make 2-3 2'-3' holes and pour in.

The fermented corn keeps the deer out of it, dont want to shoot deer down here so its a win. When they cross down wind, its a big hook. They rolled in last last evening for the first time. Feral hogs, shoot at night, IR scope, full auto whatever no worries. Got a Wildlife Innovations motion light, been using their solar packs for years.

The bait down past ~ 1 foot in the sand keeps them digging and it slides back down. Keeping them occupied for 3-4 days until its exhausted. At the end looks like a 120mm HE motor round impact crater.
