I've had a lot of people asking about the specifics with this system and once the shower is done there really should be a post on translating my technical jiberish! We are having to go back and dampen the pump motor mounts and water connections to it because of excessive noise when on and running. That post should have a bit more detail to it! :-)<br /><br />GuyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233167902796586987.post-80707654520251301202015-08-27T15:57:31.654-04:002015-08-27T15:57:31.654-04:00Of course!

Kudos to you and your husband for designing and working your way around those water piping and system! It really looked complicated, but with a good diagram and plan, you made it seem easy! Thanks for sharing!<br /><br /><a href="http://commrevosmosis.tumblr.com/post/125815220091/ro-filtration-in-rainwater-collection-systems" rel="nofollow">Lois Blake @ Commercial Reverse Osmosis</a>Lois Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435536739250459220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233167902796586987.post-430511230238939312015-08-23T11:14:13.146-04:002015-08-23T11:14:13.146-04:00Just thought I would leave a bit of an after thoug...Just thought I would leave a bit of an after thought. I was playing with the system while filling the tank up the other day and found out something? If you turn the valve that runs from the filler to the tank OFF and the valve from the filler to the accumulator tank ON, the outside water faucet we use to get water to the tank becomes active remotely??? That means that the outside water faucet that we normally use to fill the tank with a hose can serve two tasks! One, we hook up a special made hose to the faucet outside and fill the tank using outside water pressure. And two, we use the inside control valves to make that same faucet work as a pressurized outside faucet (pressurized from the pump that runs the rest of the house)! This was just a happy side effect of the layout we built for the water system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233167902796586987.post-17166429528612056302015-08-02T07:16:31.537-04:002015-08-02T07:16:31.537-04:00I used to be a control electrician.

A parallel or series circuit works the same with wire as it does with water. I know the diagram pics weren't all too explicit but, the system is all aboot directing water flow to achieve a result! This part of the water has actually been the easy part. We are trying to get the shower up and running now and it has turned out to be a big brain drain!<br /><br /> Guy in the pictures!:-) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233167902796586987.post-91971561488485748482015-07-31T16:50:00.438-04:002015-07-31T16:50:00.438-04:00That is a very detailed post about how you install...That is a very detailed post about how you installed the water system in your home! It’s interesting to see that you don’t need any other outside help (or pay others to do it for you) in order to install it properly. Well, it seems simple to do based on how you and your husband did it. Thanks for sharing!<br /><br /><a href="http://highlandrimspgs.tumblr.com/post/123699520983/why-water-filtration-is-important-to-your-health" rel="nofollow">Bryan Blasucci @ Highland Rim Springs</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014710788346923055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233167902796586987.post-22204892469210900182015-06-27T03:06:10.561-04:002015-06-27T03:06:10.561-04:00Chrissy, you're just having "labor pains&...<br />Chrissy, you're just having "labor pains" right now with your tiny...once you and "the guy in the pics" actually "give birth" to your tiny and have a chance to rest up...who knows...maybe you'll forget the "pain" of labor and want to have another tiny!

I'm glad you find the blog helpful. I don't know about us being the "gold standard" lol but we just figured out what we wanted out of our tiny house and tried to design around it. Neither of us had much building experience when we started so I know anyone can do it with the right research and drive. We are just happy that everything we have designed has worked out well so far. Can't wait to be finished and move in! The build process has been long and taxing for us, so not sure we'd want to do it professionally for others. Building our own has given us a lot of joy, don't get me wrong but I'm ready to have my time back to relax. And craft...I miss having time to make stuff! :D <br /><br />I hope you can have your dream "tiny" house built soon. You'll have to be sure and share pictures with us when you get it done. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13451356315916683752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233167902796586987.post-26077057045794802042015-06-25T13:14:14.065-04:002015-06-25T13:14:14.065-04:00:):)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233167902796586987.post-35388633154918828102015-06-25T13:12:41.770-04:002015-06-25T13:12:41.770-04:00Just had an "inspirational" idea...You c...Just had an "inspirational" idea...You could see the country, see new things, meet new people by traveling around the country, building quality, tiny houses for people!
