Well damn. I drained the water finally. It smells like sewage. Bad news is I broke the shelf that hung my lights. IDK how I’ll give them lights when it’s time. I already have them in a large light leak rn to drain the nasty shit out. I probably am dealing with root rot as it took me so long to drill into the bottom. I’ll have to separate the bin from the bottom one later. I had to do it now or risk not getting a chance again for a month. IDK what to do about the setup now.
I got it drained and that’s great, but now my lights have nowhere to hang and I have a large hole on the bottom of my bin and on the side. At least it’s light enough to carry finally now that it’s drained free of the 50 or so litres of nasty smelling water. Hopefully I can solve this issue. I should find a way to keep the bin slightly off the ground so I can get a tube or something in there to drain. I put it directly on the bottom in a inside corner pocket. It stopped draining at 40-50L. I have no way to get the bin out easily. I’ll do it, but once it’s out I still have to figure out how I’ll get the lights up again. Once it’s dry I do have waterproof caulking I can plug the holes with, but I’m not expecting that to be effective tbh. I should have thought all of that through. I just freaked out when I smelled that water and saw my floors flooding and had to get shit moved fast.
I’ll take suggestions if I can afford them. I’m sorta screwed tbh though.
Here’s the runoff. It smells like a sewer and a barnyard mated. I should still test it I assume before I toss it?
