Getting all last minute things done this weekend.
Wish me luck!
Welcome to the craziness Chelsroode! I am just outside of Oxford Mills so will be good to have someone else fairly local to compare notes with :-) Good luck!
ETA: Just went and drilled Surprise! on W and S sides. Got my own surprise in turn - W spile was already dripping as I hung the pail. Got me a keener there! And have to admit the long term forecast is looking very, very, VERY promising. Will go visit my mentors in Oxford Mills and see what they're up to.
