In this episode we reach one of the most critical milestones yet in our off-grid renovation: bringing the water systems one step closer to making the house truly livable! The day is focused on draining and installing the septic system and pump infrastructure that will eventually allow toilets, sinks, and full water flow throughout the home.
With Drew’s dad, we also tackle a massive upgrade to the water filtration system inside the pump house. From borehole water being pumped into elevated tanks, to oxidation, sediment settling, multi-stage filtration (20 micron, 5 micron, 1 micron), and iron removal systems—this episode breaks down the full journey of how raw groundwater becomes clean, usable home water.
But of course, nothing goes exactly to plan... missing O-rings, unexpected leaks, pressure issues, and a full plumbing store rebuild moment test our theory (and patience). But after troubleshooting, reassembly, and a full system flush, water finally flows through the house filtration line for the first time 🤗
Alongside the technical chaos, there’s also a softer side of life at the mill—cats exploring their cat door for the very first time, irrigation being installed for struggling plants, and a surprise break from construction for a family horseback riding adventure along the stunning Portuguese cliffs!
By the end of the episode, a few milestones are checked off the to-do list, and with the water system nearly complete and the house edging closer to habitation readiness, the reality of moving in finally feels CLOSE 🙏
This is a true mix of off-grid engineering, family teamwork, emotional milestones, and the unpredictable beauty of building a life from the ground up ❤️
