Shower in the caravan has been tiled finally. Just need to silicone between the tiles, it's better than grout in my opinion though it obviously costs more, but it's a small area so meh I'll spend 50 bucks or whatever in silicone to do it once and never worry about it again

Finished UV protecting the IBC haha. Weed barrier added first then sheeted in tin then some flashings to make it look pretttty bahahahahah.
Already got a pump ready to go just have to build another little pump house for that then pipe the bastard into the existing run and call it a day.

Smashed together another little pump shed. Nothing special just keep the rain off. Need to test if that IBC isn't going to leak so I've added a tap so I can open the tap haha. Once I've determined the tap doesn't leak I can fasten the planks to the floor for the pump to sit on.
Here's the other pump house down at the caravan IBCs as well

Rolled the tank back over too. Going to add a downpipe at this end because the gutters aren't handling torrential downpours very well hahaha. Not sure if I'll put the tank here or around the corner a bit further where I saw the rain pissing over the top of the gutter. I know that answer it's not where it is right now hahahaha.
The tank outlets on this one were fucked so I had to drill it out and add another outlet. Think I might have to do it to the other as well on both the thread is trash and I don't think my silicone O ring and lots of plumbers tape is going to fix it. Just have to go find another outlet down the back
Cant remember what the fuck this shit is called (it's called Australian pigface haha looked it up) but I planted the one in the first pic like last year/year before as erosion control and it's come down the bank and right out into the creek. Every so often I walk around the property and find more of them randomly growing and transplant them in spots along the bank. And when it grows up the bank and once it spreads across the top I cut that section back and move it to new spots along the bank. It also does extremely well being submerged in water for 3 months as the winter creek fills. Eventually the entire creek banks should be covered in it and the peaks of the banks I'll most likely grow salt bush as a secondary line of defence since they have more prominent root structures and as animal fodder. Apparently it's not to shabby as a herb also but fuck knows I ain't had it before haha
