Some how I can't get any of my resent
photos to come off my card to the computer. I just put in spybot and
malware protection device. Well in nut shell I should of chosen A but
I chosen B..Wrong answer.
I want to show our drainage troubles in
North Idaho.
A lot of people here when snow melts it
seem like a lot people have drainage troubles. Let just there no
rocks in our yard unless it was haul here. So the ground get
saturated and one dealing with mud and mud. No end to it.
We been having our drains fill up and
back flowing into our basement. So we have to be careful how much
water we put down in drain.
So Monday I took our laundry to the
laundromat, did up 3 loads of clothing. Cost $2.25 a loud. But came
home and used the dryer.
Compare to what I had to deal and
others with drainage issue here. It's a big improvement. The yard
around the place slopped toward the place.
So Murphy and I hauled fill and
re-slopped away from the house.
Statement time...I sure don't want
to always dealing with drainage issues.
Until
the drainage issue is fix. There no way we could every finish off the
basement.
Opinion time...I think most people
toss to much water down the drains and the gray water could be
recycled.
I would like to
use my GREY WATER to water my
gardens with. The only issue I see when winter came then where would
gray-water go.
Even with out a
full fledged shower we kept our self clean. In this situation one can
fine a way to wash up.
Spit bath. No you
don't spit on your self. One wet wash wash cloth with soap and water
wash down. Then take anther wet cloth wash off the soap.
Next type of bath
is a sponge bath which I call a whores bath. You get bucket of water
and start washing your self down.
Well the other day
I took a high class whore bath. Got a bucket of water not filled,
wash my body down. Even washed my hair. Then turn on shower so I
could rinse off and caught the remaining water in a bucket.
Dried
off and got something on and took the water and tossed it out in
yard.
Coffee
Is On
I will be using a whole-house grey water system at my new place. I, fortunately, have a place where the house will sit up above the area where the gardens will be. This is perfect for letting gravity do the majority of the work watering my gardens. Drainage was an issue at my cabin up north. It caused significant structural damage to my place. Not fun.
ReplyDeleteYikes! Sometimes it is nice not being a homeowner as I don't have to worry about things like drainage. But mostly, I envy homeowners!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from the A to Z :)
This system I've never heard of...but sounds promising and hope it works.
ReplyDeleteStrange that you can't download picture to your computer, but you replaced them very nicely, lol !
ReplyDeleteOh dear, your drainage problem sounds bad. Glad I don't have such problems, I can imagine the inconvenience.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you will get the drainage problems sorted out.
ReplyDeleteI think the sometimes people take clean fresh water for granted and can be a bit wasteful.
