01:24 katsmeow-afk i have no running water, no clean clothes, no clean bed, no clean dishes, i am in pain all the time from a back injury, and i am years in debt,, *i* can say my life sucks
01:24 katsmeow-afk and as no one will hire me to let me earn a decent income, they want my life to keep sucking
01:24 katsmeow-afk how's that?
01:24 rue_house hey whats up with your water project?
01:26 katsmeow-afk got the edges of sheets of osb under the pool all tapered nicely, power is run to the creek side, pipe is run almost into the creek, 20micron and 0.5 micron filters are installed and all pumbiing to convert to creek is done (unless i install an RO system)
01:27 katsmeow-afk 500 gal steel water tank is calculated to fit in the cellar and in the boat
01:27 rue_house hurry before it runs dry
01:27 katsmeow-afk i can keep 3000 gal of water next to the house, 500 gal inside the house
01:27 katsmeow-afk rain forecasted for Thor's Day
01:27 rue_house the creek is running now tho yes?
01:28 katsmeow-afk it's a trickle
01:28 katsmeow-afk for the pump, intake and output flex hose is quick connect to pump and to pipe
01:29 rue_house if anyone sys you cant do it, I want you to anyhow
01:30 katsmeow-afk got an adaptor made to inflate the air porton of the tank, coupled to shop vac for pressure
01:30 rue_house try not to get too distracted from just getting it working
01:31 katsmeow-afk tomorrow, i'll run pipe ~15ft to pool-tank, and then go hook up pump at creek and see how much water i can get
01:32 katsmeow-afk even with 3000 gal in pool, != running water inside house
01:33 katsmeow-afk i do have a rubber-bladder air tank, pressure switch for pump, pressure guage, and separate 3/4 pump to go from pool-tank to house

17:11 katsmeow-afk Great example of how people doing things wrong just keeps on biting me in the ass, year after year :
17:11 katsmeow-afk I told her to heat tape the water pipe so it would not freeze in winter. I left it to her to know which pipe she ran to the water faucets and which to the circuit breaker box. So back then, when time came to turn the water on, it flowed into the circuit breaker box.
17:11 katsmeow-afk Today i found out she had put the pipe heater on the ethernet pipe, not the water pipe, so in coupling the tanks etc i cut into the heat taped "water" pipe, and thereby sawing the electrical cables in two.
17:11 katsmeow-afk Not only is this NOT the water pipe, but the splice in the lan cable will be very noticeable in speed and error rates.
17:11 katsmeow-afk I just cannot figure out what she was using for a brain.
17:11 katsmeow-afk Kat
20:40 katsmeow-afk i am so exhausted
20:41 katsmeow-afk i am getting 2.5 gal per minute from the creek up to the house, and the creek is flowing a lil over that, maybe 2x that max
20:42 katsmeow-afk so 20 hrs to fill 3000 gal tank
20:43 katsmeow-afk $1.60 in electricity for as much water as i'd be paying $20/month for if i paid the $40 or $50 to reconnect
20:44 katsmeow-afk $20/mo with this setup = 37,500 gal per month
20:45 katsmeow-afk while i did expect more water, based on the pump specs, if it had pumped more water then it wuld have been sucking air, there's no surface water flowing for the creek atm, it's all lil pools of water tween the rocks now, till there's more rain
21:44 tsmeow-afk threw an email at
22:00 tsmeow-afk would throw an email at Tom if she had an add
23:36 katsmeow-afk where is rue?
23:36 katsmeow-afk he has not been around more and more,, or he has been around less and less
