Good news: I now live very close to multiple natural bodies of water.

We have a choice of a river:

...or a wetland: 

The wetland has still water but the water in the river has better visibility, and moves very slowly anyway. Of the two, I think the wetland is a more secure site where the surface life support machinery for the habitats is less likely to be discovered.

I also now own a large enough lithium battery and set of solar panels to power the air compressor non-stop in perpetuity. I'm exploring some kickstarter funded portable water turbines as well, as a possible auxiliary source of current if I choose to emplace habitats in the river. More on that later.

Hamsters swapped.

George is underwater, Scott is on land. They're not looking great. Age is starting to take its toll, they have kind of sparse fur I can see the pink of their skin through. They're slower moving and generally less energetic now. It sucks that hamsters don't live for very long. 

Moving soon

...However I'm moving near a large body of water. So I'll be able to continue work on Mega Hab and eventually will have someplace suitable to put it as well. Thanks to everybody for their continuing donations and for spectating this elaborate cry for help for so long.

Hamsters Swapped

Scott's underwater, George is on land. Might stop doing these updates as I'm busy with other projects, but if there's any progress on Mega Hab I will definitely post about that.

Forgot to post last week

Hamsters were swapped, George is underwater, Scott is on land. Damn, but the holiday season has me swamped.

George is underwater, Scott is on land. Video at some point.

Scott is underwater, George is on land. Also the fish are missing (presumed dead) and algae has taken over everything.
