Sometimes I just don’t have much to say, other days maybe too much.<\/p>\n

Mar 19<\/p><\/div>\n

The big melt continues. I just got a weather alert on my phone telling me the weather will continue to be milder.<\/p>\n

A nice change after surviving weeks of the polar vortex.<\/p>\n

Onto doing work around the homestead got way too many jobs and too little horsepower to get them done. So I will be adding to the whiteboard above my desks. I plan to write out all the jobs that need doing. After a small period of being sad about that, I will start doing them one at a time. Till I can get to the fun stuff.<\/p>\n

I just got back from a supply trip to town, picked a few groceries, a few building supplies and checked to see if my new oven is in. I didn’t really expect it yet.<\/p>\n

Over the last few days, my priorities are getting clearer. I need to get working on the tiny house. I need to finish my renovation before that roof falls in, I need to repair the roof in another part of the house before that falls in. I need to order and build a water purification system.<\/p>\n

All of those things require the snow to be completely gone.<\/p>\n

When the snow is gone, I hope to be drinking clean water from my pond. Which is full of chemicals.<\/p>\n

I did research, the roundup and other chemicals, herbicides, and other horrible things can be handled by the filters I will be using. I will go further than that by using four different filters. A couple just to filter out debris, plant life and swimming critters. The other two for the toxic chemicals used on the surrounding land.<\/p>\n

Now it’s time to talk about what I do with the water after my body has processed it. Yup I am going to talk about urine, pee, yellow snow, wee wee, piddle, piss, tinkle. So many words for one thing but only one word for love huh.<\/p>\n

Last year I read about urine, it’s sterile, some people use it to wash their eyes and face, others drink it, all seem yucky to me. But what I tell you next will no doubt sound yucky to you. I separate my poop and pee, the same thing a 1500 dollar composting toilet does. I store my urine in old Costco water jugs. Hey the Rock pees in water bottles so can I hahahaha. Then it all goes out to an IPC 330 gallon (1,249.19 l)\u00a0 tote. In the summer I will mix it with water 1 to 5 ratio and use it to fertilize my garden. Apparently it is the best fertilizer to use. And it’s free.<\/p>\n

Google it, people all over the world are doing it.<\/p>\n

BTW you can build a composting toilet very easily. A lot of tiny housers already doing that. I even plan to build my own urine diverter. Or you can buy one cheapest I have seen. $50 dollars US about a thousand Canadian :D. If I can build my own urinal I can fab a diverter. In my tiny house I plan to have a tank for urine that I will empty into the IPC container when needed.<\/p>\n
