Just a little blog to try and communicate what we are accomplishing here, and also what we are trying to accomplish. Not much, just a self-sustained life full of peace and love and all that other "hippy" nonsense. What we are looking for really, is just a better Happier world for our kids. Don't you want the same? We've been at this for a few months, so some of this will be catch-up, don't get bored or bitchy, just try and keep up. Peace and Love Y'all

The Water Pump

So we finally got up the money and parts to put together a Hydrolic Water pump. It uses the pressure of the water flowing down through the inflow pipe to push the water uphill to our house. Without Electricity. Awesome.... We started with a freshwater spring which is fed from the Pensylvania Aquifer, 2-330 Gallon water tanks and a whole lot of PVC along with plastic hose.









We have free water!!!! Well it wasn't free for all of the stuff to put it together but it will pay for itself. Omg it actually works, had to tweak it a bit but we get about 25 gallons an hour. No what to do with all of the water.
Both tanks filled up in 3 days and I hate to see the water overflowing out of the side. So we directed it back down the hill to the spring itself.
