Forecasted overnight low: 33 degrees. Actual overnight low: 26 degrees. When your primary heat source is wood and you have a custom rainwater harvesting system, you get up at 4:45 in the morning to build a fire and check water lines.

Not usually. It’s way overdue and I’ve got a limited window to get it done. Also, we’ve got at least 6 feet of sand before any sort of clay - drains incredibly quickly. We’re talking an hour after a torrential downpour and you can barely tell it’s rained.

Little hail, lots of rain. Had a fairly intense storm roll through. This clip is from when things started slowing down. Between a tri-fuel generator, two solar arrays, two inverters, and battery storage that will run our home for a couple days, it’s nice to not have to worry about being without electricity.

We’ve been installing trim and painting. This space is outside our walk-in closet and between the master bedroom and master bath.
Folks have asked if the gaps in the wall cover boards are intentional. Yep - 100%. We’re going for rugged, durable and rustic. When you step inside our home we want it to feel like you’ve stepped inside a well used and loved farmhouse that’s been there for 80 years. Character and charm come from imperfections.
Originally, we planned to use reclaimed materials for the interior - wood from an old barn or church. That turned out to be too much of a hassle due to inconsistencies in pricing and availability. Instead, we went with 1x6 fence boards for wall and ceiling covering, and furring strips for trim. We think it approximates the look and have been happy with the results so far.

This is Stump, my personal guard rooster. When I’m outside he follows me around staying within 4-5 feet readied to posture up if he hears or sees anything out of the ordinary. When I’m inside he does this - stands at the front door watching my every move. While the other chickens prefer to stick close to the coop down the hill, Stump prefers to roost in the cedar tree beside our house. Good Stump.

If I were going for strict organic produce, I’d agree. Arsenic has not been a part of the lumber treatment for sometime now. The current concern with treated lumber is that is contains fungicides. Funnily enough, I have mushrooms pop up from time to time. Doesn’t seem to be issue.

You’re welcome. It would take harsher winters than we typically see where I am to freeze the tanks to the point of being a problem. The main concern is the line running between the tanks and to the pump, which are insulated and covered with dirt and mulch. I can isolate each component and drain the line. Takes about 3 minutes. I do that if we’re going to see sustained below freezing temps.

2023-04-05 15:22:29

- reply

Sure.
3x 2550 gal black poly tanks fed by one 3” PVC line, which is connected to two gutter drops on backside of barndo. All the tanks are connected via their outlet. One tank is the feed tank. Tanks equalize from bottom. Inlets are used as overflow/breather. There is a first-flush diverter kit (that is way undersized) that I use as a clean out. I used flexible couplings on the no/low pressure side to allow for settling and to make disconnects easy. I’ve got an industrial-grade automatic surface pump connected to equalization lines which goes through a 200 micron spin-down sediment filter before going into barndo and onto appliances and fixtures. Then, there is 0.5 micron filter system mounted under kitchen cabinets for drinking, ice making, etc.. Tanks are treated with bleach tabs once a quarter.
We get almost 50 inches of rain per year where I am in northeast Texas. My family could probably get away with only 3 tanks, but I’m planning to add more.
I also have two smaller, simpler setups used for irrigation and livestock.
If you go with IBC totes, be sure to paint black or green to avoid algae.
