Agua, Sort Of

I am a parts runner. And a ditch digger or anything else that will keep things moving.

The name of the game is : clear all obstacles in front of the workers to keep things moving!

I got a call from our "all around" guy with a request for parts on my way to the house. Now that's the way I like it. A Panamanian that calls me when he needs something.

So I went to Lily's, the store for everything, and got the stuff. As I was pulling up to our house, he calls again for more parts. No problem. I drop off what I have and head back for more.

Anything to keep things moving!

Then I picked up a shovel and poked around to locate the water line to the casita and the water line to the house. They don't mark anything here. Labor is so cheap why not dig around to find things.

Well, I'm the labor now.

So I start looking and found both lines. It was kind of fun, like a game...find the water line.

Back to Lily's for more parts. Then ditch digging. I dug the trench for the water lines so he didn't have to...anything to keep things moving...right?

You got the picture.

At 4:30 we pressured up the system with the water main pressure, about 20 psi, not much pressure but better than a month ago. In the house no leaks, but a couple of leaks in the system we installed outside.

No problem. Back to Lily's for a couple of parts. Tomorrow we will finish the system.

And, we will power up the electric pump and test the system at 45 to 50 psi and see what happens.

We are getting close to the end. Yella and I will buy appliances early next week with delivery, hopefully, by the end of the week.

Maybe--just maybe--we will be in the house by September 15th.

I have to say, it is getting exciting!
