Re: [papercreters] Desert Construction Water -was- Re: Website

Love it SG. 
 
You make one's home sound like a crash site in the desert whose survivors have run out of water.  :)
 
You left out that part about digging a trench to the cistern from a nearby arroyo.  Thinking about this, I get images from the Sorcerer's Apprentice.  :)

Ahhhh, so the Monsoon season might be a myth.

No worries. Do all the prep work and keep those tarps ready to
deploy. When the forecast calls for rain, jump into action like a grounds crew at a baseball game. Make sure you have your anchor rocks ready to go. If you are deploying the tarps at the last minute, the approaching storm may produce some wind that will make your life difficult if you aren't fully prepared.
