I make the minuses into pluses. Where to get water when it is very necessary?

The further I advance in the construction of your home, the more I perceive the time that I spend on the site, as an educational process.

As a sport tempers in man strength, endurance, disciplineAnd building teaches me respond appropriately for unforeseen situations that may occur, and look at the other side of the problem.

One of these unpleasant situations was spring flooding my cellar.

Well flooding... Specifically it was floodedAnd as it turned out all because of my same mistakes and inexperience (I wrote about it in this article).

But the main draw the right conclusions and to understand:

• all wrong, and especially without experience, this can not be avoided.
• the more so that all can be corrected.

And most importantly, that this "school" can be an advantage.

construction season This year I discovered early, when there lay a lot of snow. And by the time I started to lay the corner blocks on the foundation, I have not had access to my Abyssinian well.

And, frankly, I did not know that I'll see her freed from the snow, and whether it will in general function.

And the water was needed to make mortar for masonry blocks.

Here I looked at the other side of the problem.

No, I did not melt snow to get water... :). It was easier!

Looking like something in your flooded basement. I saw there is not a problem that I have to mess around, and a wonderful opportunity.

Before me was not flooded cellarAnd the real well!

And the water in it will be enough to build a whole house :).But I hope that it will not always.

And at the moment the water allows me to continue to build the house.

This article does not call you as a "fool" enjoy all in a row.

There are things on which we have influence and can not fix ...

But, most of the difficulties,both construction and life, can be solved and even make useful.
