Who'll Catch the Rain?

After an excruciating amount of time passed (a few weeks), the correct gutters were delivered and the roof was finally connected to the catchment system. The slope of the roof makes it rather simple. A gutter is only needed at the back and four down spouts cover the need. The water is then routed to the tanks as seen here.

When I checked it on Sunday, there was about 1 foot of water in each tank (2), which is roughly equivalent to 700 gallons. It's rained quite a bit since then. So, I'd expect there to be much more by now.

The white above the tanks is a radiant barrier that covers the insulation (R-38) which will in turn be covered by cement board and painted dark brown. Once that is done and the mechanical room is sided, the remaining two tanks will be installed.

Outside, the final grading and the septic dig will begin soon. We can get the permanent electrical trench dug then too. Then they'll tackle the stairs and decks. Inside, there's plenty to do. Still targeting a end of year move in -- I hope.
