CreekRestoration

As far as the creek goes we meet with Brad again and another engineer. He had a lot of different ideas for us. The feeling we left with, unlike last week, was that this could be completed in an environmentally friendly way that was simple and inexpensive. This intervention would do number of things, some of which included what was talked about the week before, and would finish till just around the bend. The ball would then be in the cities court to finish the job we started in helping the eroding creek. Our next step is to contact hydraulic engineers to help with a design for the wall/structure to help the erosion. Also, we have yet another meeting with Brad (who is probably our greatest addition and asset right now in studio, we really can't thank him enough) and another engineer to test the soil on Wednesday during studio time.

Also, funny note, while we were having a serious discussion on different possibilities for the creek and little kid stood right on the other side of the fence and proceeded to make a real life fountain that went over the eroded part and into the creek water, while proclaiming he was six and this is what he does, in front of the 20 or so odd people. It definitely would have won money on America's Funniest Home Video.
