Excavation for rain water tanks

The new builder started today onsite. First order of business was the excavation of trenches for pipes to collect the water off the roof. This photo taken along the northern boundary of the property. To the left will eventually be the deck.




























The two rain water tanks will have to be below the lowest gutter (gutter still to be installed). They will be installed along the length of the property and be gravity fed. Overflow will then go to the street.

  1. I assume you use the rain water for the garden.

    Nice to see the posts again. Fascinating watching how you build down under.
