Received my design certificate from Geoff in person last night in Sacramento, CA!  Geoff is a real down to earth guy It was a pleasure to finally shake the hand of my teacher for these many months.

As a final step in the on-line PDC with Geoff, I completed the Ver 1 design for Victory Farm.   I have attached the plans as submitted, here in this gallery. We have already completed a few of the tasks such as clearing the volunteer growth on the canal.   Enjoy, and feel free to look us up.
