Getting to know the house systems

At Long Point I had a Sand Point (essentially a well, dug in the sand) and a Holding Tank and Septic System. Here I have a Cistern and a Holding Tank. The instructions from the previous owners were to call for water when the gauge read 15.

The gauge is in the sun room, above the chair in the corner.

On Monday the gauge read 15 so I called Wayne's Water Wagon (owned and driven by Rob, it has changed hands 3 times since Wayne owned it) and Tuesday he delivered the water.

The tanker backs up in the driveway and Rob takes a hose around the house to the lake side

opens up the access to the cistern, that sits beside the sun room, and fills up the tank with water from the Port Dover town supply (it is drinkable).

2,000 litres filled the gauge up to the 60 mark. Now I have to find out how long that will last. Each fill costs $100.

Nicola was down for a few days and although we did do some unpacking and organizing we also did some quilting

and hooking.

The commuting Bald Eagle had another successful day at the office.
