That's bad - a depth where it could easily freeze.


And indeed that is where it had frozen. Five kettles of boiling beck

Said 15" pit is now filled with (removable) insulation.
New job on list: fit new deep large bore mains water feed.

Whoopeee Bath Morning!!!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.
