We Have Water!

Over the past two weekends I completed installing all the water systems and tested it. The pump in the lake started with no problems, and other than a few loose connections there were no leaks.

I discovered that the shower faucet is not working properly so this coming weekend the task of fixing or replacing that is a high priority.

I also install a reverse osmosis filter under the kitchen sink... and it all appears to function without a problem.

I took water samples from before and after the reverse osmosis filter to test the potability of the water.

Coming Up:
In the next few posts I will explore:
  • The structure of the water system I installed
  • The filtering system installed
  • The outcome of the water testing

We're back! Posts to restart soon...

Work, play, vacation and working on a second blog have all conspired to reduce my time to post here to nil.

I have promised myself to find the time.

Fortunately I have been taking lots of pictures and some video of all the work over the past two months.

Much has been accomplished:

  • Drywall
  • Painting
  • Inside doors
  • Plumbing
  • Laminate floors
  • Trim: doors, windows and baseboards
  • Stairwell railing
While we don't have running water yet we comfortably stay for weekends. It means we lug water up to the Cottage in Jerry cans but we actually have been staying there all thought he winter.

We are about to cross another milestone. I am hoping to connect up and test the water system. Keep you fingers crossed for us!

Coming Up:
Watch for posts on all that listed above and much more...
;-)
