Next step: mail soil samples

We have finally--after several trips and much consternation--got the soil samples and are ready to send them in for testing. (The soil has to be tested for lead, which is usually present if the lot used to be the site of a collapsed building, which is the case for at least one of the two lots.) We'll mail them soon to the University of Massachusetts, which only charges a small fee, and will post the results soon.
