Today we got a lot of plumbing done; Roger put in 150' water line to the first Kuti in a 4' trench (12 hours of digging!), and I laid out the pipes for the greywater lines. I'm missing a dozen or so fittings and will have to wait until Tuesday to get them as there are no open hardware stores around until then.
I also pulled up a bit of the decking on the north side of the barn and ran an electrical conduit (grey 2") across the barn crawlspace for future use to run power from the forthcoming barn sub-panel down to the first Kuti.
In doing this bit of work I discovered a massive mouse-stash. The barn mice have been busy stashing food in this one convenient corner of the barn under the floor. I found about 2 pounds of dog kibble (from Snoozer's days), chicken scratch feed, (from a bag in the barn) and several pounds of CAT FOOD, stolen from the barn cat, "Kiddos".
Kiddos is an American short-hair, spayed female, looks to be about 4-5 years old. She has a reputation for catching mice, but apparently the mice have been getting away with regular food-snatching forays. Pictured here is our mediocre barn cat, looking fairly harmless.
