Woohoo!
We got the spouting finished on the tank-stand side! We got the last brackets on, spouting in and the pipe over to our tank JUUUUUSSST before it rained! It was so exciting to actually hear the water falling into the tank!
It didn’t rain for that long but it was exciting to see the raindrops running down the window and we were happy we got the job done in time…now we only have two short sides to finish.
Rain on the window pane!
SPOUTING!

“Soon it’s going to rain” Mum has started saying this lately.
I guess winter will eventually get here and it will rain, but everything is dusty and dry and the trees are dying and the grass is dead, the ponds and lakes are dry, it’s hard to imagine it’s ever going to rain again. But we need to get the spouting up because when (if) it does rain then we need to catch the water because otherwise we won’t be able to move in…water is one of the BIG THREE things on Mum’s list of moving in things.
We got the tank up on to our tank-stand (we had pictures but Mum’s phone died and we lost all) 
SO the next thing to do was put up the spouting. Mum had a plan, it sounded good! I thought she had put spouting up before, we ran a string line from one end of the eves to opposite the tank and made sure it went on a downward angle all the way (we measured it with “Nevill the level”) then we put up the spouting brackets, I made sure they were straight and Mum screwed them on.
