Planted Marang from Plant It Hawaii in the pasture: the first tree to be planted in the main body of the orchard!  Used the standard Plant It Hawaii potting mix for soil.

Power washed shed roof

Rented power washer from Home Depot today and power washed the entire shed roof surface.
Rented the 3500 PSI model, which was sufficient to blast old flaky paint and primer off the metal roof.
Cost: $92 for the day.  Rented at 7:15AM and returned it by 5PM.  Spent the whole day power washing!
