After finding the cause of Kaylia's pain, she has now had a very good day ...... she's very cheerful again.
The 3 Musketeers (Callum, Maicon and me) have begun a home-brew! Today we went down the hill and procured the essentials ..... and the fermenter is now bubbling away with an apple cider. In 7-10 days we will be able to test it!
Work has begun on a grey-water system for the house. Just in time too! When we dug away the soil round the old drainage system, it was immediately clear that the old system is in a very sad state. I shudder to think what professional repairs would cost. The greywater system will replace all the damaged and broken parts and add dual functionality. It will be able to function as a standard septic system .... or be easily diverted into the greywater processing tanks set up at a lower level. It will include a holding tank for rainwater and excess spa water. These tanks will flush the greywater filters on a periodic basis to make the system almost maintenance free. The outflow from the greywater tanks will irrigate a garden bed at a lower level. It will be totally gravity fed with no pumps.
