Interlinking the water jars at the bottom to allow for the silt to be clean out, and use the lower outlet for garden, the upper pipe work will be for drinking, via a filter, have 6 x 2000 lt jars, every jar has a stop cock fitted ti isolate each jar as required, red handles.

The jars sit on 100mmthick of 5mm chrusher stone/ covered with plastis, the 75mm topping of stone, plastic stops the weeds, and the stones are finer enough to walk on and it cooler than concrete.

The pipes under ground have been backed filled with sand to allow for movement

What ever you do Dont have a bath in these jars, there's not much reinforcement in them, and all the splashing around to cool off the jar just went POP!, won't buy that brand again, the place to buy them from is about 3 K on the left past Big C towards going out of town on the Sarkon Narkon road.

The water delivery driver says they have more wire in them , checked it out for my self before buying the next 3 jars at 1500 each delivered

The pipe work under the house, being fitted, the vertical pipes come from the gutters down to the lower 150mm pipe running under the home, the junctions are all set in place ready to take the horizontal 150 pipe.

The theory is the rain will wash off the dust on the roof into the down pipes, then into the storage 150 pipe, once filled the water will back up the down pipes to the higher outlet down pipe into the water jars or tanks, as clean water.

The 150 storage pipe holdes 150lt/ at some time after the rain there is a stop tap at the lower end of the 150 pipe, can be used for general watering or just flush the pipe out when turned on, ready to take another 150lt of dirty water, this system is refered to as The First Flush system, you can get other types that will dirvet water with a electric sensor solinord, I just used the always works turn the tap off/on system

The big day tomorrow will be to show the top half of all this Farang pipe work, as the workers scratch theirs heads trying to figure out why so much pipe work

Its not just pipe work, It's work of Art also, must match in so Bugs Bunny will feel at home.

Building in Thailand, The Electrician sweating like a pig fitting off a fluro.

The ceiling you can see the bulk foil insulation sitting on top of the 25mm metal battens, on the wall up high to the right is 1 of the many PVC GPO outlett boxes, note the green wire to all power supply.

Through the front window the support column yellow and part of the artwork down pipe can bee seen, the front verandah has yet to be lined and insulated
