getting dark, time to evacuate due to risk of malaria or possibly needing a transfusion.....darn mosquitos are horrible this year

Looking good. Have you ever tried a mosquito magnet. I had one when I lived south of Houma, La and it worked great. Before I got it I could not go outside after dark, a couple months later and it was unusual to get bit by a mosquito. I highly recommend them.

Nice neat system...

Just be sure that your water level doesn't drop right down, otherwise there will be a lot of pressure on the sides of the IBC from the dirt and it may push in..
