Adding the Cistern

One thing we really wanted to do with our house was collect rain water and use it in the garden. Brian and Dave have been really supportive of this idea. Our cistern will collect rainwater off the roof and we are hoping to attach it to our sprinkler system and use it for watering our garden.

Today the cistern arrived! As you can see there were three machines working at Ocean Oasis today putting the dirt back against the house and taking away the extra dirt. The lot will look very different tomorrow. While they were working they were able to dig the hole for the cistern and have it put into place. It will be mostly buried with two access caps on the top. They already have some of the outside pipes in place for the rainwater collection and will be attaching them soon to the cistern.

The students will be back on Wednesday to start the framing.
