Making Progress on the project

So, the rainwater catchment is finally coming to life! We've almost got the entire gutter system installed! A few more hours this Saturday and the system will be ready for rainfall! Whoo Hoo. I'm crossing my fingers that we did everything okay and it holds the water and nothing goes wrong. This however won't be apparent until January or February when the rain really starts to come and cisterns start to fill up.

Some recent pictures of the project:

Hop-scotching the cisterns over each other along the narrow 4' pathway, trying not to crush the vegetables that line the path. 


The cisterns in their final location!  It was tight fit, but everything went smoothly, and it was a sign of relief to get them in place. 



Brian and I inside the cisterns. We were installing the pipe that runs between the cisterns. 

Me drilling the hole for the inlet into the cistern. I couldn't quite finish it, so the burly men had to step in and finish drilling...
