Design Modifications & Viagenco

In the morning Julia and I headed over to Arihunt to discuss our order in more detail. Pradip, the shops owner, was in today and he proved to be quite knowledgeable in the parts needed for a tank install. His advice was quite good and we used a lot of his modifications. We also learned that the gutters are all hand made... if we had know this in the states it would have been very beneficial, as we came up with some rather weird methods to make sure we captured all the water!

Around noon Michael from Viagenco showed up and we went to lunch with him at the New Victoria Hotel... the food was decent, though not excellent. We then ran by Arihunt again to get his input on the design changes to the rainwater system. He had some good insight, and provided some new details about the concrete slab which he recently completed for the tanks. Around 6pm Benson from Viagenco also arrived in town. Nurin, the nephew of the hardware store, offered to show us the local scene and brought us out to this really nice restaurant which featured both Kenyan and Indian foods. I tried some "turbo naan," while good... proceeded to make me sweat like mad.
