Shorts weather today, with highs in the mid 70's, Sunny, with a few high clouds and a nice breeze here on the South Plains.
100% chance of Vanning!

Well it started to rain here last night....

Used the 55 gal drums to collect the rain ..... filled them in 20 min ea... 8 of them

Then started to fill my 275 gal tank ... filled it in 2 1/2 hrs

[Linked Image]

But the big rain is still coming so I had to break out the other 275 I have .. + the one I have in the side yd by the garage

[Linked Image]

I will easily save a couple hundred on my water bill in the next couple of months.

It rains so rarely here you have to get what you can when you can !

I have a similar setup here and it is amazing how fast the 275s fill up. So fast that I got rid of my little barrels. We also use to water the gardens.

I use the 55's to collect the rain in the beg so I can have clean water in the big tanks..... the 55's are full of dirty water off the roof..... water is water plants dont care if it has dirt in it. But I do care if my 275's have dirty water in them..... hard to clean.

Still sucks here in PA, 0 degrees this morning, wind chill -10. Last Friday we had a 55 degree warm-up and lots of rain, caused major flooding, the worst in my area since 1965. My van is stored in the garage for the winter and at 3am in a torrential rain storm last Friday I was moving it 10 miles up the road to higher ground. A word to the wise, never buy a home in a flood plain, that creek or river that looks so tranquil and peaceful in the summer, can turn into a monster on any given day and destroy your whole life's work and possessions.
