Rainwater progress

Jaimin spent the evening doing 3 things:

1. Exposing the ends of the in-situ clay rainwater collectors so that the new plastic downpipes can be directed in to them, and the new plastic drain pipe can be fitted to the other ends and the rainwater taken away
2. Removing the existing pooh pipe through the wall and digging out the soil around it.
3. Fitting the first gutter along the north face of the main length.

More digging was never going to be welcome but hopefully this is the vast majority done.

The gutter installation was relatively straight forward but took a couple of goes to get the best solution, which happens to be as simple as stringing a line from end to end and lining up the brackets along the line.

The water test (pouring water in the uphill end) even resulted in actual draining to the downpipe running outlet!
