Other Water StoriesWell the day I posted that photo of the dam, it rained.
Not enough to make a difference on the dam as all the water soaked straight into the ground, but worthwhile all the same. We had 13mm that day and 10mm the next but now it's stopped although the prediction is for more in the new week, so here's hoping.
The fall did however get some water into the tank alongside the shed. This concrete tank is used for water for the chooks, calves and the veggie garden. But it's been dry since late March. The tank isn't water tight either, so I bought some bathroom sealant which I painted on the walls of the tank as well as filling some gaps in the walls.
Linda and her dad also got in and scrubbed down the base and patched some possible holes.
And then it rained. We originally had about a foot (30mm) in it, but it still appears to leak through the floor, so when it's next dry, we'll get some cloth tape that can be used to help seal the wall to floor joins and then seal the floor.
