Garden Plumbing

A collection of various plumbing projects around the homestead.

Each post tends to be a different project, but it made sense to collect them under one project heading.

There were many projects before the first one mentioned on the blog. I might go back and document earlier ones someday, but for now I’ll start with ones already posted.
