These are from MAY 5th

day number 5 without water out in Darivka

When building things get a bit complicated without water available

so we did something about it.

We bought a 1000 liter tank and started filling it the moment the water came back on.

This blue tank will go in the base for the house.

These water or electrical outages are typical on a 

fairly regular bases here in the village.

we have company

The end of last week we had about 3 swallows stuck in the house

now we have about 12, seems they are inviting their friends.

This is our wood/coal burning furnace that has arrive to be installed.

With the concrete now down, the insulation that will go under the heated flooring tubes

is now being installed. This silver below is a second layer of insulation to keep the rising up and not warming the floor below.

So Maxim is learning some things, like how to use a weed wacker.

We purchased it from Sasha for 1000grv, maybe $40. It works!

His first try!
