Water project update. We’re measuring for and pricing rain gutters, planning for platforms and spigots on some trash cans to gravity feed the water through a hose. Instead of dumping water from the dog bowls down the drain we’re pouring into buckets. In two days I save enough to water a couple of small plants in my front yard and the rest of the week I save enough to water a large shrub. Just from the water bowls. I’ve decided to try soap nuts for some of my washing so we can collect that water as well and figure I’ll get enough to water another shrub once a week from that.
Solar cooking project update. I have a platform built on my back patio from blocks leftover from another project, it’ll keep the cookers off the ground and away from the animals. Today I’ll get the new cooker put together and give it a test run tomorrow. I’ve used a box oven before, it works more like a slow cooker, but I’m hoping this really will be more like stove top cooking. We shall see.
