The wire is barely visible from the roof ridge cap to the bath house. I have a light installed in both sides of the bath house. I found out today that one of these energy efficient 11 watt bulbs works great directly from the solar panel.

Silembe | Waste System
The septic system and “soak-a-way” (drain field) are finished. I've built more than a dozen of these, none of which have ever had a problem. I bought and delivered more pipes today for the grey water drainage. The grey water will drain out away from the houses and be available for gardens, etc. This is not legal in wet places in the States like the east coast, but is legal in the more dry places like Arizona. Grey water is smelly if stored, but seems to work better on gardens/flowers/grass than fresh water.
Silembe | Water Supply
The hill for the tank has been leveled, broken bricks placed to prevent erosion, and a “box” area made in the hill for drawing water. We can easily raise the hill/tank with more dirt when more water pressure is needed.

Today, a red ribbon hangs in front of the White House to mark World AIDS Day. It's a celebration of the progress we've made -- and a reminder to all Americans that the AIDS epidemic is far from over.
Reports released this week contain disturbing news about AIDS in our country. As new medicines allow people with HIV to enjoy normal lives, more Americans are becoming complacent, and infection rates among gay and bisexual men are rising. Here in our nation's capital, the virus is spread increasingly through heterosexual sex and is being diagnosed more frequently in women. A disproportionate number of those living with HIV in the District are African American, and HIV infection rates are higher here than anywhere else in the country.
