I finally got back and did another water run. Resolved some issues, exposed some more. I cut a 55 gal plastic drum to house the worm and drilled a hole just small enough to allow the 3/8" worm to exit at the bottom. I cleaned it out and sealed around the tubing with silicone. Worked very well. ...

I'm only about 2 hours away. Haven't been in a couple months. If you like to ATV it's a blast.

I've just began my first build too. I am not in the U.K. but have had a lot of luck at my local scrap yard/ recycle center.
