More new faces

So we have three more plots to allocate today. Also we have a lot of admin from the allocations last week. One of the issues we have is that the map of the site is based on an old Council map from way back. So when we allocated a bunch of contiguous plots last week we didn't have clear boundaries. So we had to measure and mark out the exact sizes of the plots.

What is drawn as perfectly straight and square on the map is not how it is on the ground. So we need to figure out how big the plots are so we can charge them accordingly. The normal size of a plot we allocate is 5 rods, which equates to 125m2. But the plots we gave out are more of a trapezium. So it is vital we get things measured and sorted.

Meanwhile the plot is still under water. I attempted to fix the shed window but the sealing putty is still too hard to flow properly. I think I might have broken the gun by trying to get it to work. Oh well. Back to the rake.

One problem which will have to be addressed soonest is the Leaning Tower of Water. The water butts are full and the flood in the greenhouse has made the soil soft. The weight of the water is causing the butt to shift on it's foundations. It's still kind of upright, but it will need to be re-positioned before it falls over.
