I absolutely LOVE my new home .... Big job ..year-long in construction ...just as hangar rents were going up @KEWK ...I got to move all the contents home in September ... lots of room for my "mobile she-shed" (gyro-toyhauler) to be parked inside too ...in slightly heated/insulated shop - no more RVwater line winterizing YAY!Amazing all-in-one set-up you have there Christine. Most impressive.
Are there pics/video tour of this she shed? I'd love to see the layout and get some ideas.I absolutely LOVE my new home ....

Still rehoming / selling excess stuff from farmhouse ... big push this weekend to do a final clean-out/up!
Great to have no steps /stairs ( except to storage/utilities loft above residence) on a daily basis. Love my indoor exercise pool ...in it's own heated room in one sunny corner( 4 windows) ...of the shed!
Jason & family ...just across the driveway & lawn! ..... gyro & retiree heaven!
I'll take some to post here ...I have a whole album on Fakebook( ...for as long as they tolerate me & my CT rants!!!) .... of the construction progress ...many from the air! ...If you are on FB ...I'm Christine Toevs ...if you want ro make friend request!Are there pics/video tour of this she shed?

Those are my Rainharvest rainwater collection /underground storage tanks(5,000 gal - total! a 4 month supply for one person) ...as it gets too cold in our winters to have rainwater storage above ground! We are currently in a 2 week deep-freeze when temps are hovering between -10F low to +10F high !!!What are the three large tanks for, Christine?
I didn't realize I could view that as a non FB user but I could.Awesome project!
Thanks for sharing.

Anything that lands on your roof gets washed into your holding tank so what kind of filter do you use for dust and bird poop. Not sure I would like the taste of "real water"..
Collected rainwater is the best ..... it is "soft water" ... (no minerals) .... great for washing everything .... hair , clothing , cars (no water spots) ... tea , coffee . kettles (no scale buildup) .... and tastes like "real water"
When it rains the first water is bypassed to a rain barrel for the garden , it is an automatic (simple) valve . That way any dirt or bird droppings on the roof are washed away without entering the household supply . typically we chlorinate it once in a while with a cup of javex .... similar to city water .... a carbon filter in the kitchen to remove the chlorine for coffee etc .... but simply heating or boiling water the chlorine evaporates right away.Anything that lands on your roof gets washed into your holding tank so what kind of filter do you use for dust and bird poop.
