you actually have to be joking
so my grandad decided he was going to have the roof washed and repainted. I'm not sure why exactly, but whatever, it's his FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS to spend

however, it has contaminated the water tank with roof dust, and now my coffee tastes like dirt.

so we just spent half an hour trying to switch to one of the two other, uncontaminated tanks. here's what I've learned:

• the roof gutters drain into tank A
• water flows from tank A into an electric pump
• pump, acting as a valve, runs to a distributor, feeding:
  a) the house
  b) the laundry
  c) tank B
  d) tank C

now, the astute of you may be wondering, "so how do you feed the pump from tank B or C"
that's very simple: you don't. we're stuck with dirty water I guess, because my grandad spent TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS on a pair of unusable water tanks, I guess.

I've been worldbuilding again, this time for a fantasy story set somewhere way before the middle ages, probably like our world's equivalent of the early iron age. It has been surprisingly fun.

I return! Shockingly enough, I am still alive....

Anyway, have a great day!
