I was in Florida a few weeks ago and saw where they did erosion reinfourcement by placing the bags of quitcrete in layers to keep from loosing what was there.I. Has anyone checked with Alabama Power concerning what they would and would not allow. I thought there had been some decisions made, it was just about the funding. That is what prompted me to create the art as a fundraiser.
I felt the concrete bags layered could be place to stop the erosion around the base of the existing tree area. Rain whould cause them to setup. They were placed in the bag directly on the ground. Many of my neighbors said they would be glad to make some kind of event out of it and famlies bring the bags of concrete and place them around the remaining tree area. It would be alot easier than barges and loads of riprap I thought. So many people with a little effort could make something happen.
I have been creating some stain glass art that can be illuminated.I'm doing a piece for a cemetary in Alexander City that needs to be marked. I wanted to do one for graveyard Island next. They also help with night navigation. One of my crafty neighbors has been helping with the wood construction for the frame supports.
I too am open for suggestions.
