Started with moving the filters over under the carport behind the wall.
Draining the bins is way too difficult where they currently are.
Raining & wasps found in pallets, so had to stop for the day.
I'll be able to add 2 bins later on as well.

Gotta cut the wall panel to fit pipes through. Then I can start cutting pipes to lengthen them.
First filter should be back up n running tomorrow!
Then I'll start with the 2nd.

Glued n drying! Need to level the bins and then I can turn pump on tomorrow.
If all goes well, I'll start moving the 2nd filter.

Oh, FFS!
Yesterday, I cut the intake pipe to glue in an extension...
Except my brain checked out and I glued it back together at the cut....
Noticed that absurd mistake after gluing the outputs together.
So, I cut again and added the extension.
But...today, after leveling the bins, I realized that it's still too short!!!
WTF!?
Now I need to go to the store, buy more joining parts and cut n glue yet again...

Maybe tomorrow the first pump will finally be back on. 🤦🏽‍♀️
