Does anyone need any water.

We have a few thousand gallons of it lying on our land that we don't need at the moment.

You can collect it any time you like.

Our domestic water is collected in a series of barrels in a mountain stream up on the hillside . That washed away at about the same time that the water-level around the house got so high that a spring actually opened up in the kitchen . So , no water in the taps but gallons all over the downstairs floor .

I thought we had enough water problems .... but a spring in the kitchen?!!!

I guess you've probably not really been able to see the humour .... or benefits .... of having a new source of running cold water.

Is the floor tiles laid on soil?

We had a problem in one of our rooms where the previous owners laid concrete on the old soil floor without a membrane. The water was seeping up through the concrete. I've solved that reasonably well by laying a damp proof membrane under the carpet. It's not very elegant but it seems to work Smile
