Greenhouse rescue Part 7: Bringing water to our 130 ACRE estate (and transplanting a lotus)

The transformed cistern and rescued greenhouse will function as a technical centre to control watering systems for our entire estate. This week Marc begins the complex piping system.
We live in a medieval castle with a huge, derelict estate in southern France. Follow our ambitious garden projects, from vineyards to formal gardens, tropical plants to self-sustainability. Our project is enormous and our enthusiasm contagious. We'd love you to join us.

    Clement speaks English to mom and French to dad? Perfect. He will have two languages with the accent of each!! And it will be easier to process in his brain because of th associations with each parent and their native language. Later on, he will be able to learn other associated languages easily. Bravo!

    You are so fortunate to have Michel's knowledge. Thank goodness Clement came to the rescue as well. So much is coming together. It looks like it will all save time, money and make your chateau even more self-sustaining, as you want. Marc, you certainly have many skills. Thank you for sharing.

    You can clean up that drain cover with white vinegar and salt and scrub it. Then coat it with flax seed oil. When the oil dries put another coat on. Then just add a coat periodically to keep it sealed. If it is cast iron better to protect it from rust as much as you can.

Impressive but bet your hands hurt after that such an amazing skillset you have both of you have such adaptability is genius levels. Mosaic aquatic leaf is also beautiful in ponds but not sure it's readily available in France.
