Hopping mad

The water tank in this well-site ran dry... I just made it through my shower thankfully otherwise I would be more than hopping mad!

So no water great just great - when I asked if they filled the tank on Friday they said yes, bet they didn't!

Between chasing after the contractors guys parking in unauthorized spots and keeping tabs on the camp it's a wonder I am not drive mad!

Tax

Everyone doing chicken things

New Coop

Well it happened. I had to build a new coop to accommodate the new peeps that will be arriving for Easter. My granddaughter Eve and my daughter were here to help me with it this weekend.

That is so unacceptable!. Are you melting snow right now so you can flush the toilet?

Awe, what a GREAT grandpa you are!! I love the picture of Eve with her head down on the table - trying to get a good angle to see the construction coming together!! And the similar one with her helping with the glue. she couldn't have a better construction superintendent!!! (And I bet you couldn't have had a more engaged worker!!!!)

No! But that is a great idea! Though do you know how much snow I would need for even 1cup if water

I was just about to go out and fill up the big crock pot with snow, then I remembered it would only melt down to a small amount haha!

But great idea!

Small amount is better than no amount.

And, of course it varies with the temp/condition of the snow, but the general rule of thumb is 10" snow - 1" H2O

so, if you have a 5qt crock pot (approx. 4,800 ccs, or 160 oz) you should get about 480 cc or 16 oz of water.

so, load up that crock pot tonight, when you get up n am, pour melted snow (now H2O) into a container, and load'er up again!

You know, kind of like the shampoo bottle instructions = lather, rinse, repeat...

For 1 gal. flush, you will only need to do that 8 times is all. Not too bad!
