Did a bunch of work on the well house. My wife calls it "Town Hall" because we have been hanging out there a bunch.
Put in a fridge and window AC unit. Got some plumbing done to keep momma happy. She wanted a utility sink. Had to put in a drain and then me and a buddy dug a 35' trench (it wasn't real straight). Had to throw down some infamous pea gravel and some perforated PVC. So now we are set up to add a washer and dryer to town hall.
Also put in a window unit in the small cabin for our guests.
Got a feeder filled and had a few deer on camera but not much. Had a lot of rain today and left a little early.
Came through the wall with the utility sink drain and tied in to the existing washing machine drain.
Came off the old hot water pipe with a tee and then ran hot water over to the new sink.
Already had a cold water pipe behind the sink that was originally for a ice maker hook up. Used it for the sink.
Mamma is happy to be done with the tiny fridge in the camper. $100 well spent!
Behold the greatness. Didn't know whether to put it in the drain line trench or fill my feeder.
I forgot how much I dislike manual labor!
Forgot to get a pic of the finished drain line. We slapped on a short extension from the existing drain then added a 45 fitting and about 35' of PVC on a bed of pea gravel.
So does the grey water just drain onto the ground at the end of the PVC or do you have holes drilled into it so it drains into the pea gravel? I'm looking to do something similar at the lease.

Everything looks great!
The pipe has holes facing down towards the gravel. Then there's a hole at the end that's about 18" deep and 2' in circumference with more gravel.
Thanks folks. Really satisfying to be working out there. Don't want to do anything at the boring old house now.
