beautifully detailed #tadelakt sunken tub from www.traditionsdumaroc.com

tadelakt is a Moroccan technique for applying & polishing lime plaster, and then rubbing in a soap that creates an integral waxy waterproofing in the surface of the lime plaster. The result is a lusciously smooth, waterproof finish. Yum! https://www.facebook.com/buildnaturally/photos/a.529687600388735/1198007590223396/?type=3&theater&ifg=1

Rainwater Harvesting QA - Cost, is it Illegal, how I treat, etc,.













For each 1000 square feet (92.903 m2) of collecting space

you can roughly get 6 gallons of water (22.7125 litres)

per inch of rain (1 inch = 2.54 cm ... See below)

Rain gauges are thought to be the most ancient weather instruments, and they're believed to have been used in India more than 2,000 years ago. A rain gauge is really just a cylinder that catches rain. If an inch collects in the cylinder, it means an inch of rain has fallen. It's that simple. Most standard rain gauges have a wide funnel leading into the cylinder and are calibrated so that one-tenth of an inch of rain measures one inch when it collects inside. The funnel is 10 times the cross-sectional area of the tube. Rainfall as low as .01 inches can be measured with this instrument. Anything under .01 inches is considered a trace. This standard rain gauge is shown in the following figure.

Some comments:
steve B February 27, 2017 at 8:01 pm Many are using aluminum soffits to capture the heat. Painted black. I hear black nylon screen (screen door screen) is doing even better, 3 layers stretched 1/2″ apart. Curious to try those.
Robert Snider October 10, 2016 at 10:48 am It’s called a thermal siphon. Look it up.
tim January 6, 2017 at 3:22 am i think you’re pretty clueless. you use insulated dryer vent the only place you don’t want insulation and uninsulated pipe and glass elsewhere. the return air is about a hundredth the capacity as the hot air pipe. a much better design is to remove the dryer vent and replace it with several (zig-zagged) layers of black window screen and use dryer vent for the runs to the house.
John March 22, 2017 at 2:18 pm An interesting Idea. Unfortunately it will only work in very mild climates. In the demo most of the heat would be lost from the pipe going to the window. The heat accumulator pipe in the box should be black to absorb heat not silver reflective. Also the air flow would be very restricted by the tiny air intake lines.

Valerie December 19, 2017 at 6:30 pm A materials list is not required. Just watch the video. I would make my intake longer so it reaches the floor, to grab the coolest air.
