Water for the Containerhouse

Tested the drainage pipes for leaks with a small amount of water (so far so good). I glued the drainage pipes, calked the drainage hole, and covered the hole dug in the ground for the outside portion of drainage pipe and homemade greywater tank (made out of a 5 gallon bucket).

I finally cleared a path on the lot for the car to park beside the container. Up to this time the car was parked on the side of the road. Now that the vegetation is dormant, clearing was a lot easier than if I had attempted the clearing when I first arrived in September. I had to fill the ditch along the road in front of the lot with rocks so the car would not get stuck in it. I picked the rocks (one by one) from the property instead of ordering a truckload of gravel.

Filled the water tank yesterday for the first time. Now I don't have an excuse for not showering and cooking in the container. Up to now I had been showering and hand washing laundry at the State Park, and eating out a lot.

Got a couple of propane bottles for (1) the portable space heater and (2) the steel camp water heater. The night are getting quite cool now. Frost was on the car windows a couple of nights last week.

Now prepared to begin the containerhouse lifestyle as envisioned - as soon as I go grocery shopping!
