It’s the year 2067, Ralph goes to his garage where he collects the last toilet roll that his great grandparents purchased back in 2020 during the great Coronavirus pandemic!
There are 260 pieces on our rolls of 2 ply toilet paper. On average 12 pieces are used during each visit to the small room twice daily. Therefore one roll will last one person for 10.83 days. The rolls come in packets of 24 (except Costco where there are 48). One packet of toilet paper will last one person 260 days.
Today I made a start on the second soak pit for the shed. As mentioned in an earlier post; Perth doesn’t have a stormwater system. Almost all rainwater goes directly into soak pits. The first step wast to dig a suitable sized hole and lay some broken brick pavers in the base which will spread the load of the containment box.
I’m using the last of the children’s plastic toy boxes as the containment box. Our youngest son is 40 and the oldest grandchild is 27 so it’s unlikely we will be storing toys. I cut a 90mm circular hole in the box for the PVC downpipe.
It goes into the hole with the open end facing down.
I’ve done dry connections on the PVC joints just in case I need to remove it at some future date.
The box was then covered in a surplus piece of black weed mat in an effort to prevent sand leaking into the box.
The concrete slab will go on to before the hole is backfilled.
Now who can remember this old one
