Yesterday Lorinda and I took down the tank that was catching water at the Lillikoi cabin. Lichen helped me take apart the gulch solar show. Or was that the day before yesterday? No, it was yesterday... Last night, before and after school I picked up parts to put them back together again.
Sort of amazed myself at getting the soldering for the shower manifold right the first time, although I had to go borrow Malte's torch, because the one that I bought last summer inexplicably crapped itself. Also managed to get the steering wheel off the tractor. Realised late in the day, what a fairly overwhelming task it will be to rebuild the steering box. Oh well, I don't have much to lose at this point.
I cleaned the tank, inside and out, but just as I was getting ready to take it up the hill the truck ran out of gas. Ha!
My plan to divert the greywater is still on hold, as I realised that the reduction down to 3/4" pipe is almost certainly going to get clogged and back up into the sinks and so on... So, I don't I guess having an opening that we can use to flush it out will be necessary. I settled on this position after bailing out about 50 gallons of really festy water. Fertilised the monastery bamboo's, the amplexifolias and the jakfruit...
