The insulation around the wine cellar was still visible over last winter, but as it is starting to be filled, it was imperative to put up more wall and backfill behind it. The wine cellar gets all the drips from the west roof, making it a bit moist. A gutter was put on the west shed roof.

There will be a small pond next to the south gutter and a stream will run from that pond to a pond about 30 feet down the slope. The gutter will drain into the ponds. The lower pond will drain into a third larger pond next to the sauna over the 15 foot ledge via a waterfall. The north gutter will drain into that pond and the trench from that gutter will carry power and water to the sauna. The power will feed a pump to carry water from the lower pond up to the top pond. Overflow from the ponds will flow into the garden in the middle meadow.
