Container Home: Second Coat of Epoxy and Drainage Piping - 17 April 2016

The first thing my wife and I did was to apply a second coat of the coal tar epoxy to the side walls. I don't want to have to dig those out again due to any rust. After that, we got the sewage piping installed around the containers. It took quite a while but we finally finished that Saturday afternoon. We first had to start out with cutting the cinder blocks so the drainage pipe would lay flat on the ground for maximum drainage.



This is what it looks like up close.



The next thing we did was to install the sewage pipe, which is colored in turquoise. You can see in the picture below where the joint is that the kitchen sink will drain out to.



This is a picture of the joint that travels around the corner of the container. You can also see the material over the white drainage pipe that keeps sediment from going in.



Here is the picture of the pipe on side of the containers. I added an emergency pipe to the geothermal piping in the even flooding was massive enough to flood those pipes. Also, the wire you see near the bottom is the high speed internet line.



Once we finished this, we began pouring the riverbed gravel over it. The gravel now comes up 1/4 of the height of the containers.



Here is another picture. I still need to cut out the holes in the side to run the sewage pipe out. That is why you can barely see the two ditches in the pipe that will have the drain pipes running out of the wall and into the main sewage pipe.
