Once it gets over 30, things start going wrong.
I am currently contending with sagging gutters, need roof refinished/pointed as the gutters end up with lumps of pointing and tile sand,
car port sagging causing water to flow the wrong way, soakwells full of crap (and 3 are under the lawn), one corner of the house has sunk slightly so sliding door is a pain,
need to do flywires, tap seats all on their way out, water hammer, rusty water coming through in the morning so other things stuffed as well.
Plus I need to rip to toilet off the floor and put in a new rubber mounting gasket
Don't know what to do first
I am interested regarding the 44gal drums. Did you link all of them together with pipe and plumbed in a bore pump?
