We will be living in the lower part of our property for a few years while they build our house on the upper part, but we have no sewage connections in our community. We needed to build a "temporary water building" up the hill from the ministry building and classroom so that our gray water can drain into the seepage pit we dug at the lower corner of the property. The gray water from our "temporary kitchen sink" and our "temporary shower" will pass through a sand filter (see future post), then into the pit. The water from our washing machine will run over to and down our driveway. Our toilet is actually a dry toilet (see future post), so it uses no water.
 |
The "temporary building" is just uphill from
the classroom, our temporary kitchen. |
 |
There are 4 terraces: the lowest for our
washing machine, then the kitchen sink,
then the bathroom, then the shower. |
 |
First the walls and ceiling were covered
by styrofoam. This is the upper level, the
shower. Yes, the doors are purple! |
 |
The siding and roof are made of steel
roofing pieces. |
