A further ‘add on' to yesterdays story about being caught ‘red handed’, so to speak in our hot tub, by the builders. We discovered late yesterday evening that the alarm clock that we took the time from, yesterday morning, is in need of new batteries and was forty five minutes slow duhhhhhh!
We have done a lot of bits of everything today. I have started to design, with the help of Allen and Mags, our water system from the hebe to the utility room, where the water will be de-calcified and filtered, and then to the house where the drinking water will go through a purifier system. Part and parcel of the pipe-work run, outside the house and before the utility room, will be spurs off the main pipe to water the garden with an automatic drip timer watering system. The drip watering system for the garden is very economic and far more efficient, and thus less wasteful, than watering plants and trees with a can or a hose pipe. When we have to ship water in, these are necessary considerations. I have run one hundred meters of pipe already today and I now need to buy another hundred meters tomorrow to fulfil the main water pipe runs, whilst at the same time keeping water supplied to the caravan.
Tomorrow Phil (the solar man) is coming up to site to fit the solar and battery system up for us. I am starting to enjoy this period of work because it is useful and the better we design now, the better the whole thing will be for us in the future.
Today the house ‘potho negro’ (toilet water waste tank) has been connected up so it’s all taking shape a little.
We had an uninterrupted excess of an hour in the hot tub tonight, it is so refreshing after a hot sticky day in the sun. We feel fit as butchers dogs now.

BTW You can see Steve, with whom I went paragliding, flew over this morning taking some more pictures of the house.
