So live beside it. Love you wood rack design beside the doors.



Nice Hans - I try the best I can, but I get cold and hungry and that wood's dry and beggin' to be used.

Let's create a world prefaced with the phrase "in theory" and see what happens..ah crap we're already doin' that. I thought I had a genuine idea.

Back to work, time to get bigger projects done.  There's water in the well, there's water in storage(anyone else cringe at holding drinking water in a thing called a cist-urn? Cause I do) and there's water at one of the hydrants.  More than half the leap of progress is made, now it's time to figure it out and iron out the wrinkles.  Look at a satelite composition of earth at night.  Oddly enough, water covers very closely the same percentage of this place as the human body is composed of, around 70%.  Water is where it's at, get sum.

Depends on a lot of variables.  A cistern collecting rainwater from a surface is easily contaminated. one collecting rainwater from the shallow water table is susceptible to ground contamination.  When there is a slow rate of replacement the large diameter of a cistern can collect usable amounts of water between uses. If it is well sealed with clay to prevent surface rain entering and the water enters through a gravel and sand layer in the bottom from clean land I would drink it.  Had such a well in Maine; one the edge of woodland, deep clay  with water seams 6 to 8 feet deep, was dug 16 feet deep with back hoe, bottom layer of gravel and sand, cement culverts were stacked with gravel around them to the 6 foot level then packed with clay to the surface. Remained full to the surface most of the year with very good water.
Hopefully the design  there is well done and your maintenance plan is good then when it is settled have the water tested.

Interesting design there in Maine, iv read your description several times to build it mentally.  I think ours maybe slightly more conventional but I believe the water from it is very good and the ground is relatively pure.  It's guaranteed to be dramatically better than tap water in a city and the only type I'd drink over it is a quality brew or distilled water.

I would have grabbed a pic of the stars but I didn't have enough time for the exposure.. This is truly a last minute grab.

Bought this book shortly before I arrived. Looking forward to having the land close to make some use of it.
