Making a little stream with cascade.
At this moment still more sweat than fresh water.

ideasguy:
Looks like an AWFUL lot of work for what you refer to as a  "little stream"  :)
Did you dig that all manually?

greenfinger:
Yes, slave labour by hand. You begin with one spade dig and then you take the measures, arithmical logic takes over and next the whole enterprise begins to live its own life. Before you realize you have a whole building site on your hands. It has a lot to do with calculation of the water level, liters per hour (12000 liters per hour was recommended!), resistance, you name it. I was asked to initiate my friends in this science, but after regular visits of their expert friends and neighbours it's me who is the novice. I learn a lot every day I spend on this work, so it keeps my water running.

ideasguy:
You'll be a happy guy when you get that job finished. When do hope to have it completed?

greenfinger:
There is a stick behind the door. The "river" has to be in working order and the garden cleaned up by the third week of May. The mistress of the house plans a big First Communion Feast by then.
