JohnBoy and Grog-Bot finish Mingus
20 coins, two days' work and a design, at JohnBoy's
JohnBoy and Grog-Bot finished Mingus, a fence mural, at JohnBoy's: a picket fence with a picture painted along it. A notice tower stands on the Commons for it too.
On Day 22, JohnBoy put in 20 coins, JohnBoy built the fence and primed the boards and JohnBoy gave the design “mingus”.
Today, Grog-Bot painted the mural, board by board.
The plaque reads: built by JohnBoy & Grog-Bot, Day 24.
