LET'S HOOK IT UP | Portuguese Permaculture Projects

We are in the middle of renovating our house in an abandoned Portuguese village. After successful testing we take the final steps on our Grey Water Wetland. Let’s hook it up!

Stay tuned for more building content and why not hit the notification bell so you don’t miss it 😉 thanks for watching!

My name is Jasper and i bought a house in a Portuguese ghost town. Together with my dogs Zoey & Akira we show you the rebuild of our house and what it is like living the daily life in Central Portugal.
If you like to follow along on our journey, maybe take a subscription 😉

  1. I think the wet land idea is so cool. Here is my critique, take it or leave it. I think you are planning on keeping your water/effluent levels too high. To allow your plantings to do the maximum filtration, you'll want to keep the flow between chamber to a trickle. What ever comes in, moves what goes out. If you fill the first chamber much above the inner wall level, the first and second chamber will effectively become one chamber. After flowing underneath the second chamber, the third and forth chambers will act nearly as one. Setting the water level lower, will use less rock and stone, allow for better residence time in each of the four chamber and will produce a cleaner final result. Issue number two. Put a P trap under your outdoor sink. The grease trap will get smelly and the trap will contain the odors in the bucket!!! Thanks for all your time. Your doing a great job.

  2. 🤔 Sory but in my opinion your filter from the Kitchenwater is wrong. I think the fat should swim on top so the going out from the Water must be under the top of the water. the water who gets kinto the filter ican be over the top of the water but the outside should be under the waterline. Twicwe i think you also make a mistake with your Shower Pipe. The water from the shower has a lot of soap and fat from your body. If i build this ifiltersystem i had take a bigger ton for the fat filter and take the Kitchen and shower trogh the filter. also a would take a fine fleece around the take in in the concrete tank to filter fat if it get over tjhe fat filter you has installed. How many person live in the nhouse ? Is the concrete tank not too small?

  3. We are about to experience world-wide flood in the return of the recurrent Micronova. It is already here The sun is white, the first Horseman of the Apocalypse to be followed by the sun turning red, then black. After the CME reaches Earth, the sun will be Pale, the final horseman of the Apocalypse–death. But we are the progeny of survivors of the Gothenburg event 12,000-years ago and have survived at least 7 such micronovas. We are survivors, if we are prepared. I cover this in my second book, Surviving the Micronova.

  4. Not wanted to sound like your nanny, but @24.13 the jig-saw blade was travelling towards your left wrist. Normally, when people slash their wrists it has serious consequences 🙂
    All it takes is one slip and, given your remote location and likely distance from medical/emergency help, well . . . .
    Always work with the cutting edge of the blade facing away from body parts. This applies to all blades, including knives.

  5. Don't you think that as the existing shower pipe is 50MM that your new pipe should also be 50MM?
    By using 40MM you have cut the pipe capacity by 20%as well as perhaps reducing flow by introducing 90 degree elbows.
    Perhaps the other pipe was once used to drain the wash tub now at the other end of your ruin

  6. I still thinking it's not good. Hope I'm wrong. The concept is good. I think it will Smell bad going this way…😂 and the scale is to Big for only one people. Will the grey water reach the last bassin in summer days without rain? (Evapotranspiration)..😁 hope i'm wrong.

  7. Mosquito breeding grounds can be eliminated at home by removing unused plastic pools, old tires, or buckets with standing water. Me thinks you will need to invest in Mosquito nets and an method also for the wetland. As it's a perfect storm going to happen every four days breeding Mosquitos.

  8. Great job! Now that everything is still open..Just thinking…are you going to put the water tube to the outside kitchen also in the trench? And maybe some extra tubing to put all the cables in that are everywhere on the ground.
