All About Soil

If you’re stuck inside like most of America (and the world) right now, you’re either working remotely or passing the time by watching Tiger King, doing paint-by-number, and/or putting together a puzzle (or whatever else you might be interested in; this is just what the majority of people I know are doing right now).

The Evolution of Drones

A drone is simply any unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), and the first ones mentioned in history were actually bombs. On August 22, 1849, unmanned balloons were launched by Austria, equipped with explosives. The plan was to attack Venice by dropping bombs on the city, and although some were successful, the raid wasn’t particularly impressive, and …

Dads, Donuts, and Dump Trucks

This morning was WCA’s annual Dads, Donuts, and Dump Trucks. We brought a few trucks and volunteered our time to the school’s preschool classes. The kids loved climbing in and honking the horns, especially. (I’m sure our neighbors weren’t as pleased.) Thank you Elephants, Owls, and Dolphins for letting us hang out with you today! Can’t wait for …

Retaining Walls and Riprap: Reshaping Landscapes and Creating Structure

Retaining walls can be large or small, but their purpose remains the same. They are meant to hold back soil from a building or structure, but they can also provide aesthetic and landscape design functions as well. Retaining walls can be constructed from railroad ties, treated timber, wall stone, natural stone, brick, or concrete block. …
