    Default Rain...Hooray

    Today is the first time in around 2 months we have had rain.

    15ml in the last hour's thunderstorm....more coming from the look of the bom radar.

    Thank goodness for that. I measured my tank yesterday (5,000gal) and it was down to 12 inches of water..spent all day yesterday cleaning all the leaves out the gutters, and today..... presto.

    I feel good!!

    rained almost all day on the sunny coast, not heavy for most of it but fairly constant, but hadn't for something like 40 odd days

    When you only have tank water available to you, then you really miss 2 months with no rain...I reckon the tank would be half full now...at least.

    No shortage of water here, i open a tap and "hey presto" there is water......

    Couldn't imagine living with tank water.

    Can see myself paying for the Desal plant though.....

    Does that mean you can now have a shower, I bet your friends will be pleased.
