Shelter from the rain.

1/27/2019:

Building Summary: Today was planning day. Padre and I mapped out the best route for bringing in the water and taking it to all of the locations where it will be needed. While doing this, we also made a list of parts that will need to be retrieved from Sparr.

Commentary: This morning I was reluctant to go outside and make the journey down to Jacobhouse due to the fact that it was raining and 41 degrees F outside. I did so nonetheless and was quite happy to find that Padre had turned the heater on. For a while, all I did was neaten up Jacobhouse (can always find something to tidy up), release / execute a lot of flies that had gotten in yesterday while both ends were open, and stand in front of the heater whilst wondering what in the world I was going to do next.

I decided there would be no better time to find the pipe pieces required to put together the sewer line to the shower. This took all of about one minute, so I once again had to determine what the next step was. Fortunately, Padre arrived right round that time, and we set about planning the cold and hot water piping, the result of which is the primary picture for today’s post.

One highlight I should mention is that both Padre and I noticed the sound of the rain atop Jacobhouse. Though I would not go so far as to say it was a quiet resonance, both of us agreed that there was something comforting about the ‘tap-tap-tapping’. It was as if the sound accentuated the fact that we were in the cozy, warm indoors – sheltered from the cold, wet (and for lack of a better word) hell without.

Tomorrow, I think I may go about setting up and possibly gluing together the sewer line to the shower.
