What was an annoyance and an eyesore since we purchased our home...
The blue camping kitchen bucket was used to bail out the greywater that leaked from the garbage disposer. Sometimes that blue bucket was overlooked which eventually led to a watery mess at the sink. Yick...
"Arnt" is no more...
has now been transformed into...
This is new our greywater system.
The two white valves control where we want our greywater to flow.
The horizontal valve controls the the garbage disposal "waste" which will lead to the septic.
The vertical valve controls the water that will lead to a drip system below the west porch deck.
The trash can is a temporary "cistern" for collection. We will install a spigot at the bottom of the can which will be connected to the the drip irrigation system. Also, in the case of overflow, there is access to drop a bucket in to extract for our trees and plants in our front yard. The lid will be strapped to keep any animals out and a screen will be placed in the lid to filter any debris.
What about possible malodorous air? That is what the honeysuckles and lavenders will take care of.
This is what it looks like underneath. The garbage disposer has been moved to the left sink. We will eventually install our dishwasher on the left. Numerous dryfits and a few "expletives" later, there are no leaks...not even a drip...but we will continue to monitor to make any adjustments if necessary...
Up next? A new sink and a new kitchen faucet. It is never over...
