Things have slowed a bit. All of the pieces of long Driscol pipe (a 2″ black plastic pipe) has been run up the trench, been fused together and are in the trench. A second line has been cut into 5 long pieces and run parallel to the first and the electronic valves have been attached. They had to take the fusing machine back and we have had lots of rain.

On Monday or Tuesday they will come back and attach the saddle connectors. Thaey attach to the 5 shorter pipes and transition from the 2″ header to the drip lines.

I talked with a co-worker, a carpenter, to extend my roof for the catchment part of the project and I’ll soon decide how to get the water from the roof to the bottom tank.

I have already bought the concrete and decided how the pump will be positioned on the ground and held down.

I have 2 people ready to sell me trees and as soon as I can get the water system up and running, it will be time to plant!

In the meantime, I stopped by my friends house and talked about her Labradors. She has one puppy to sell from the current litter.

I have to head to me temporary job in town. I have a bunch of reports to finish before my boss’s boss and her boss appear this week from Corporate.
