Mrs Sandbender and I have been looking (for some time) for a new place to live here in Hungary, somewhere away from the traffic, bad hairstyles and the increasing number of 24 hour off licences, underwear shops and casinos that are taking over the shopping areas of Budapest.
We are currently looking at a place about half an hour from the city, a semi rural area where commuters might live but where some folks keep pigs, sheep and cows. Lots of folk growing stuff too, lots of poly tunnels.
This property is a long slash of land up the side of a low plateau(180 - 220m-ish), the land area is about 1 hectare, and about thirty meters wide at its widest.
However there is no water supply!
I'm thinking that if I could dig a pit and line it near the top, it will fill with rain and I can siphon it down the hill to water plants etc.
There is a public water pump further down the hill that I can collect drinking water from.
Early days and no money is going to be changing hands any time soon.
Any thoughts?
