	Triangle School 1/96	The 50 year old Triangle School at the time of purchase before any renovations were begun.
	Wastewater Treatment Site 9/1/96	The constructed wetlands, soil filters, and greenhouse will be built into this three-sided courtyard located behind the building.
	Construction Begins 9/1/96	The first phase of construction begins with the creation of cinder block planter boxes for the greenhouse.
	Greenhouse Planter Boxes 9/20/96	The cinder block construction here defines the two rows of planter boxes that will eventually become part of the greenhouse.
	Cell 1: Soil Filters & Constructed Wetland 9/26/96	With the roof and framing for the wall of the greenhouse complete (right top) , construction of cell 1 begins. Plastic lines the bottom of the constructed wetland. The V-shaped soil filters which sit on top of the constructed wetland are framed.
	Cell 1: Soil Filters & Constructed Wetland 9/26/96	The constructed wetland of cell 1 has been partially filled with gravel and soil. Framing for the soil filters continues.
	Cell 1& Cell 2 9/28/96	The soil filters on top of the constructed wetland of cell 1 have been filled with sand, gravel, and brick. Work on the constructed wetland of cell 2 (back right) continues.
	Cell 1 & Cell 2 11/20/96	Cell 1 and cell 2 await more fill and a spring planting.
	Cell 1 3/19/97	The soil filters on top of the constructed wetland of cell 1 are given a final layer of crushed brick.
	Cell 2 & Cell 1 3/19/97	Cell 2 (front) is being filled with additional sand, and cell 1 (back) is given a top layer of crushed brick.
	Greenhouse 3/19/97	The greenhouse planter boxes are lined with plastic to prevent water from leaching into the ground.
	Greenhouse 4/11/97	The planter boxes are full of sand and the windows have been installed in the greenhouse.
	Cell 1 and Cell 2 4/11/97	The constructed wetland and three soil filters (raised framed sections front center) of cell 1 are complete and filled with gravel, sand, and crushed brick. Cell 2 (back) is also ready for planting.
	Septic tanks 4/11/97	The 2000 gallon septic tank and the four pump tanks which pump water of varying types to the constructed wetlands, the greenhouse, the landscape features and the toilets, are ready for operation.
	Control Boxes 4/11/97	The control boxes which monitor and regulate water flowing from the septic tanks to the constructed ecosystem have been installed.
