This project is nearing completion. The plumbing of the buildings for the showers and laundry took some time to complete. The hot water system is rather unique. It’s a cheaper version of solar power. We painted the concrete building roof black. The cold water supply is piped to the roof where it spirals through a 2 inch black plastic pipe on the concrete about 100 meters long. It comes out piping hot at the far end before going down to the showers below.
The pipe work to carry the toilet diverted urine to a connecting tank for the experimental tree fertilizer program is complete. Some trees have been planted. An orchard of fruit trees are to follow.
The toilet and shower doors are presently being installed. We await the electrical supply to light the buildings. The property has to be fenced. This is an expense that I did not anticipate.
We hope to have a grand opening at the end of April, which is about a month later than was originally planned.
