Water Phase 1: ?/09/17

Unfortunately, August was a slow month. No progress on the lab was made as we waited for a time the plumber was free. During this period, I undertook no lab related projects, which did serve as a nice change of tone and act as a mini break.

In early September, the plumber finally became free and engaged in phase 1 of the water supply, this involved running a flexible blue water pipe from the house to the lab, again using the ditch/canal we dug 2 months prior.

The plumber connected the house end to the kitchen sink through a valve that can be used to cut off water supply to the lab if need be. The other end run through the conduit underground shared with the power and Ethernet SWA cables and was then fixed to the wall. A valve was also placed on this end to allow the water supply to be disconnected if maintenance on the sink needs to take place.

A hole was then drilled through the wall and the pipe was also fed through it back outside, this connected to an exterior tape so hoses can be attached if required.

Finally, now that all 3 cables/pipes were in place, the ditch could at long last be filled in and the garden could return to being flat and looking at least half decent. Luckily this job was must easier and faster then digging it out.
